Now that I have a few days in on the August Patch, I guess I know a bit more about how it will work in reality.
Stipend
For a player with 1 account, the stipend may work very well. One of the issues is that every account has 10 characters per world. If you play 1 world, getting your characters a stipend once a week may not be to hard. If you play multiple worlds, the effort increases for every world.
Now, if you have multiple accounts, well, you can see where I am going with this. This could require a huge amount of time every month to get all of your characters stipends.
Value of the stipends.
A few of the stipends are for special use.
Resetting Attributes and Skills are something one wouldn't use often.
An Augumentation Gem every 3 weeks. Now this might be useful for a trade skill character or a buffbot to get their length of buffing up to 2 hours.
Once a character can survive the 125 Eaters, that route is still the quickest.
Experience - This can be useful along with the normal levelling of a 150+ character. For a lower level character, it returns some XP but it is still limited.
Moving a Monarchy Hometown to Arwic. This certainly is worth considering. Arwic has become a needed center for Salvage and now Stipends. It doesn't offer a lot to lower level characters.
