I also like nice graffiti but even those end up covered by a bunch of ugly and lazy tags. As for cities being soulless without it, I guess you never went to a city that is not a glorified parking lot.
I still have one in a closet since about 5 years. One day it will rust through, explode and turn everything in my closet white. But maybe I'll need it again 😅
One can (well, two, one for the outline) will get you two throws max, maybe like 10 tags with an NY fat.
And they do make smaller cans, assuming Krylon ShortCuts still exist, and there's always the MTN pocket cans, but those are available in less colors. Still female cans though so no adapter needed!
