Completely agree and that's why familiarity with Udemy is even more important. As I said, if you choose the right instructors and right courses, you will often get the best deals on Udemy. Some of my favorite instructors on Udemy include Maximillian, Jose Portilla, Stephen Grider, Angela Yu, Tim Buchalaka, Ranga, John, Kirill Eremenko and Cloud guru (Ryan). Their courses are much more valuable than price you pay.
The only "pros" of udemy is pricing. Unless you are a heavy user in which case it might be more expensive eg doing more than 60 courses per year.
Udemy has pretty much zero baseline for authors. Anyone can sell a course, whatever that means, even if the course is to just read a textbook aloud.
But Pluralsight has many serious instructors and I think it deserves the price tag.
FYI I am not a pluralsight customer, but used to be. I am using Oreilly learning and I am super happy.

Totally agree with you approach. I would add Stephane Marek as well.
