Our local injection pump rebuilder told me if everyone used a good additive he would be out of business.

He is correct. For wear resistance, use an additive. Water in the fuel and dirty filters are another huge issue and avoidable

Perhaps an additive is good for users that only use a few gallons per year and the tractors set around for months between tank refills. I don't know of any farmers who use thousands of gallons of fuel per year who add any thing to their diesel. My retired brother in law does maintenance for a super large farmer who last year was burning $100,000 of fuel per month. They don't add anything to it and he said they have never had a failure in fuel system. They put thousands of hours a year on each machine which is likely more than any 10 CUT owners will put on in a lifetime.
As I have said many time, put whatever in your fuel tank and oil reservoir that makes you rest easy at night.

This is very true. High fuel turnover helps to keep condensation rates down. Less harmful water.
