We don't go up to 96kHz because listeners can perceive it, but because it allows for the design of better filters, better processing, etc... which does result in better quality, but it'd be completely fine to then downsample in 48kHz right before sending to speakers.

Exactly. 96k allows finer resolution and filtering when it comes to stuff like EQ and dynamics.

It helps with aliasing and time stretching, but idk much more than that. I personally don't go over 48k because the benefits aren't worth the disk space.
