I'm in the same boat as you OP - a tongue tied adult who's considered treatment a few times before.
I'm not sure of all the benefits there are to getting it fixed though, other than being able to lick [icecream cones] with competence. I also can't roll my Rs which made high school Spanish miserable.
I've read that recovery is rough the first few days after surgery, and I'm sure we'd have to relearn how to talk to some degree. This tradeoff doesn't seem worth it to me, so I haven't gotten it fixed.
Besides, it's a fun conversation piece if I ever need it.
