When the framerate goes above the maximum refresh rate with G-sync
I can feel and see a big difference between 60hz and 120hz. To me, the framerate is hugely important. WIth a 144hz monitor, I'd like to never drop 144hz. If I' aim for 120 fps in CS:GO, I'd get like half of that when standing in front of a smoke grenade, and that's not what I want.
I guess I'd rather play CS:GO without G-sync and get tearing and a little bit of stuttering. I could accept playing at 120 fps with a 144hz G-sync monitor, but it would never stay there.
Do you get as much input latency when you hit the refresh rate cap with G-sync as with just V-sync though?
Yes, as can most people as it's an effective doubling in refresh rate. The difference between 120Hz and 144Hz is much smaller, however, and so most people can't tell. Asking to have a constant 144fps AND have a smooth experience is asking for the impossible. G-Sync won't help you with what you're asking for, as it's only going to smooth out gameplay between 30Hz and 144Hz. When any monitor hits a refresh rate cap with G-Sync, V-Sync automatically kicks in anyway, so it's the same experience with or without G-Sync. G-Sync isn't going to help you with your situation unfortunately.
In your situation, I would agree with you and recommend playing without G-Sync or V-Sync if you want to maintain a 144Hz refresh rate, and just live with the tearing. You won't be getting any input latency that way either. I think that would be the best compromise
