It's not hard, or overly time consuming, assuming you're making it from scraps you've already cooked.
If you're setting out to make it from scratch, it's expensive and a waste of time/fuel.
Beef/chicken/vegi stock, totally. I have to drive 65 miles to the closest store that sells pork stock, but I can get pork bones from my local butcher, so it's absolutely worth it to make my own pork stock for home made hot and sour soup.
65 mi? Damn you put the edge in edge case.
Interesting never heard of hot and sour soup using pork broth. Everywhere around here is beef or chicken.
There was a Chinese restaurant in town when I was growing up that used pork stock and I've never had hot and sour soup as good as his. Sadly he retired in 2015 and shut down the restaurant.
I just don't get enough scraps for how much I cook with stock. I'll have a couple ziplocks of bones and veg and roast them, then boil, deglaze the roasting pans into the pot, boil, boil, reduce, reduce... great now I can make... a few servings of soup, a cup of concentrate for sauces.
