So, to answer your question. IMO, yes, its worth it. I noticed it in a few areas of daily driving. ON/off ramps, substantially less body roll. Switchbacks, like lane changes feel more stable. And cross winds on the highway do not push the car around as much as it used to.
Having lowering springs does take care of some body roll,so that part of it wouldnt be as pronounced. If you like to drive in a "spirited" fashion then you'd like it. If you drive more "grandma" like or normal run of the mill drivers,then it may not be a good investment. The swaybar is for people who like to push the car a little at times.

I drove my 2015 manual SE around for almost a year as a daily driver without a rear-sway-bar, and immediately noticed the stability differences in situations like what you mention once the TRD Rear-Sway-Bar was installed. On a factory/stock-OEM suspension/spring type setup, it is the best bang-for-your buck mod that you can make to a Yaris IMO. Perhaps not so much once the car is lowered and suspension-tuned for aftermarket racing-style performance.
