My impression is that the downsides of breakup dominate the overall utility compared to the marginal increase from having a better relationship.

My impression is the reverse. Breakups tend to be sharply painful, but the wounds heal in a matter of months or at most a few years. But if you're unwilling to consider breakups, being in a miserable relationship is for the rest of your life.
