Yeah, 144hz makes a significant difference for competitive FPS games (especially fast paced ones like Overwatch), but I hardly notice a difference when playing single player or PvE oriented games.
Hell, on some games (e.g. Borderlands 3 and CP2077) I actually prefer to play on my 60hz monitor since a smooth 60hz is much more enjoyable IMO than an inconsistent 100-144hz experience. My computer is admittedly pretty old though.
144hz in overwatch feels like putting glasses on for the first time, my brain can actually track movement properly
Most other games I barely notice the difference though
You can cap the fps in software, no need to switch monitors.
Also personally I always notice the difference, even when scrolling webpages
