Question Unfinished basement

Its looking like I'm working with 79" overall height. Worth finishing it yes or no?

Constructed in 1955, small cape, does not take on water, zero moisture issues. A few settlement fractures(west side of foundation) but they are not wide or deep and I've been monitoring the width/depth for a year+ with no further deterioration.

Thinking fill cracks/fractures with hydraulic cement. Let cure, dry lock the whole thing, glue pink rigid to walls, frame out from there: pt bottom plate and standard framing or metal? What do the pros say?

Domination takes full concentration..
