AWS RDS Provisioned IOPS really worth it?

AWS RDS Provisioned IOPS really worth it?

As I understand it, RDS Provisioned IOPS is quite expensive compared to
standard I/O rate.
In Tokyo region, P-IOPS rate is 0.15$/GB, 0.12$/IOP for standard deployment.
Also, the minimum required storage is 100GB, IOP is 1000. Therefore,
starting cost for P-IOPS is 135$ excluding instance pricing.
For my case, using P-IOPS costs about 100X more than using standard I/O rate.
In the most optimized database for RDS P-IOPS, would the performance be
worth the price?
