Hoppers are about the only thing I'm totally down with getting. We do not have children but it is our plan still to get them even with kids (obviously yes this can change if it does it does). The added cost is something we can adjust through something else personally.
Cons with Park Hoppers are expense but Pros with Park Hoppers are it's not priced per day but per ticket (at the moment). That means you could spend 2 days not hopping but then spend another 2 days hopping and see value in that, for instance.
A lot can really come down to kid's personalities but also the adults in the traveling party--if you're not happy that can also affect your day and your interaction with the kids. If your kid gets bored or fussy a change of scenery can be just the thing to help OR it's taking a break and then going to another park for the rest of the day--maybe there's a ride or parade or show or fireworks show the kid really wants to see. Park Hoppers allow for that flexibility and that can be just the thing a touring party sees as working for them.
Keep in mind not everyone is utilizing Disney's transportation. With Uber/Lyft (even Minnie Vans though they are under Disney's transportation umbrella) not to mention....rental cars people can get from place to place a variety of ways. Plus there's also planning parks like MK and Epcot in one day where you can get around just using the monorail or now with the Skyliner you've got connection points too. With DHS and Epcot close together you can walk between the two, use the boats, other transportation already listed and a rental car would be fairly quick too.
