In my opinion an instrument that you're profficient enough to busk with is invaluable as far as the ability to make a little extra cash. Worth the weight to carry...unless you play the grand piano!
I did, soft-ish case, for like a month on the road and it was fine. I don't think I prefer it for train travel now though - too many ghost downtowns from Covid, and too much weight and bulk to justify bringing it. Maybe a smaller instrument like a harmonica would make sense. That's just my perspective though
