Personally I find the gains you get for being at TH7 far outweighing the costs of rushing there. You get:
 * +50 troop space
 * Level 5 lab with an upgrade for every troop you have up to that point
 * Barbarian King hero
 * Dark Elixir troops
 * Dragons
 * Rage Spells
 * Unlock Season Challenges (which can net you a lot of resources even without the Gold Pass!)
 * Defensive-wise, you get so many new things that you defend a lot better against opposing TH6s
