I’ve been using one but I’m not sure what benefits I’m getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I’m adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

Ok, so the ISP can see that I’m connected to the Tor network? Using Tor over VPN just adds one more layer of privacy, right? Tor isn’t illegal here; what I’m trying to achieve is anonymity on the internet.
You’re losing anonymity, when you log into your VPN through TOR
TOR gives you anonymity, but if you connect through TOR to your VPN, which you probably registered with some of your data (or maybe your real IP), all the hops through TOR are useless, because your VPN connection is associated with you.
It really depends on who you want to hide from.
If it’s your ISP, then connecting over VPN to TOR could make sense, when your ISP is restrictive regarding TOR. But that’s pretty much the only usecase I can come up with at the moment
