I use powersaves pretty much exclusively for the cloning option. It's super helpful after I've just traded several shinies with people to be able to replace my stock with just a few clicks. With just that alone, powersaves has saved me so much time and was definitely worth the $15 bucks or so I paid for it. As far as hacking IVs and natures, while I don't really have a problem with it a lot of other people do, mostly because they don't like it when something they've spent hours trying to get someone else can make in a matter of minutes. I still don't think legitimate breeders should try to condemn those who choose to powersave however; even before powersaves, 6 IV shiny legendaries and competitive pokemon were already extremely common due to genning and RNG, so I don't think they can complain about devaluing. If someone wants a perfect Pokemon like that it's pretty easy to obtain one, it just depends how much time you're willing to invest.
So if you really value breeding your Pokemon yourself without the use of Powersaves then I'd skip it, if not it's a huge time saver and just makes life easier.
