if a lot of your synths/plugins have oversampling then you will be fine sticking to 44100 (a lot of free plugins like the one's OP mentioned don't have this)
i tend to produce at 44100 too, but when sound designing with complex chain FX i use oversampling in every plugin i can.
final mix downs and self masters i use 88200.
try using any synth with oversampling/use a higher samplerate and you will certainly notice a difference if you have proper monitors.
using massive in economy mode and then switching to ultra is an example of oversampling.

"I can't imagine any good mastering engineer
ever using a de-esser" im sure that's what doesn't make sense.
they will certainly use a good de-esser on a track with distorted highs since EQing doesn't always fix nasty aliasing in the high end.
