Gems...what are they most worth spending on?

Sunday packs are always worth buyng. But for regular ones… are they worth it?
You spend 300 gems weekly and get 120 diamonds and 2400 shards = 24 diamonds.
300 gems = 144 diamonds
which means

1 Mythic = 8333.3 gems (via regular 50 gems packs)
1 Mythic = 2381 gems (via Sunday 50 gems packs)

On the other hand, if you have access to VIP chests:

1 Mythic = 100 VIP chests = 4500 gems

So, how do I spend my gems?

Regular 50 gems Dungeon packs VIP chests
Can target a specific Mythic Random Mythic*
Can’t pull new exclusive Mythics Can pull them
Higher gem/Mythic ratio (8333 gems) Lower gem/Mythic ratio (4500 gems)
No risk of pulling a dupe/unwanted Myth The risk increases with number of Myths you own*
Perfect for targeting old Myths Perfect for pulling new Myths during their exclusive period
Need to wait for a wanted Myth to appear in Soulforge Perfect for newer players with few or no Myths
Can use jewels to craft Celestials (2 stones for 300 gems) Get lots of Arcane/Celestial traitstones, Epic/Legendaries to ascend

*not valid during exclusive periods

If I had VIP 5, I’d save 4500 - 9000 gems for future Myths and spend surplus on regular Dungeon packs.

EDIT: Are the daily Gem Bounties worth it?
