is eventual consistency ever worth it

I'm stuck on a design choice for a new feature. We need to show user stats that are pulled together from a bunch of different microservices. Going with strong consistency really bogs things down, probably because of all the cross-service calls or tricky coordination needed. But, I'm kind of hesitant about eventual consistency. What have you guys seen work in production with eventual consistency? When is it actually okay to use, and what methods do you use to handle the problems that can pop up with it?
