A huge unspoken benefit to BJJ is how you get really good at recovering from falls and slips. When you've been put on your ass by 200 pound men multiple times a week for years, a regular fall is nothing, you just instinctively move the right way to minimise impact and come out unscathed.
I don't know if OP kept it up or not, but on the off chance you're still here, guard passing is completely optional once you've become accustomed to leg entries and leg submissions. Even if you don't progress towards a leglock it is often much easier to come up to a dominant position from 50/50 or single leg X than to pass guard in my opinion, though everyone's different. It's another option in any case, though you won't get any points for it in a competition.
Taking even just a little bit of freestyle wrestling training will put you leagues ahead of someone else of your bjj level when it comes to the stand-up clinch game, even moreso than judo IMO which isn't as usefu, especially for no-gi. Having said that, it can be rendered completely useless in a competition if your opponent just sits down and plays an open guard. For MMA and fighting in general though, wrestling is a huge boost to pretty much every other style, as well a major test of toughness.
I like to watch sambo and other Eastern European grappling technique videos as a supplement because they have a lot of good shit that is applicable yet never really seen in BJJ. White and blue belts have no idea what to do when you get them in a Russian tie. Ivan Vasylchuk on Youtube is a great one to check out.
