Do you think there’s value in spaces dedicated to listening to full albums or private listening rooms?
I think most people who would be willing to pay for it are also willing to pay for a good setup at home. I absolutely love kicking back and listening to a full album at home. I have a pair of Yamaha HS8 speakers with the matching subwoofer and it sounds pretty dang good for not a crazy expense. I'd

I just paid off my mortgage, gosh , it feels good.
Cheaper: Krk speakers Mid tier: Yamaha HS-8 Higher end: Adam Mid fields You can go way further than this, but I work on a combination of the cheap and mid tier options.

Getting pretty serious as a label owner and producer, any outboard mastering gear I should look into?
Under $1000 total, I really like the Yamaha HS8 Monitors. If your budget is considerably higher, Neumann KH 310.

How Does the HS50M Hold Up?
I had pair of HS8 for a few years and I think they were really good for the price. But the HS series doesn't have really anything to do with the classic ns10's. It's a bit annoying that Yamaha had to redo the same color scheme since the HS series are good monitors in their own right (for the price)

New To Synth Minilogue XD
It all depends on your budget! I mostly recommended these because they are only $119 for a pair. Monitor speakers can go up to the 5 figure mark for one each. Of course, those are only useful if you also have a fully acoustically optimized room. Yamaha has the HS5 and HS8. These also have a subwoofe
