My main reason for upgrading my CPU (i7-4770K @ 4.4 GHz) would be to get better single-threaded performance in indie simulation games that usually run on mostly one thread (Cities Skylines, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, Prison Architect, Rimworld, etc. - stuff like that) and can suffer from low FPS in the late game?
How much better is the performance of current CPUs (like the i9-9900K or i5-9600K) in this use case? Is an upgrade worth it at this point, or should I rather save my money for Ice Lake or the equivalent from AMD?
