Is additional insulation of the attic sensible in new construction?

The effort is probably only worth it if, like me, you don’t have a basement and therefore rely on the storage space.

Right. Basements are simply too expensive to build just as storage space. I bought a property with a basement. Two full floors plus a well-accessible attic. There's no way I'll stuff the attic full of stuff. There's enough space in the basement for that. But a whopping 50k for the basement versus maybe 2k to insulate the attic... Yeah, I would also go for the attic.
