For those who live in LA: does it make sense to keep the Chase Sapphire Reserve and pay the $800 annual fee, given that there’s no Sapphire lounge at LAX? Are there other benefits that make it worth it?

Live in LA; switched to Amex Platinum as the credits make way more sense. Plenty of Resy restaurants here (including less expensive options like Jon & Vinny’s), Amex Lounge and Delta lounge, and easy access to Vegas for FHR redemptions. I’d keep the CSP for transferability though.

LA should mean using the dining credit is relatively easy

If that were me, I would downgrade to CSP. If the LAX Sapphire lounge ever opens, you can upgrade back.

Does CSP have the same insurance benefits?

it depends on your spending habits and travel patterns
