Worth contributing to traditional IRA if I can’t do backdoor Roth?

I’m currently maxing out: - 401(k) ($23,500 for 2025) - Mega backdoor Roth - HSA - DCA into Taxable brokerage throughout the year I can’t do a backdoor Roth IRA conversion due to the pro-rata rule (have pre-tax IRA assets I can’t consolidate right now - 5 year hold period for a transfer bonus). For those in similar situations - do you bother contributing the $7,000 to a traditional IRA anyway? Or do you just keep putting extra money into your taxable brokerage account? Curious what others prioritize when backdoor Roth isn’t an option.
