Imo upgrades having real utility makes or breaks this mechanic in most games. The upgrades need to be consistently useful to the player.
Other things to think about for base-upgrade mechanics:

• Tiered upgrades - extend usefulness of existing upgrades, I hate when things get "left behind" or become obsolete if I spend any significant amount of time unlocking something.
  • Garden provides the ability to grow certain ingredients without venturing back into a "low level"/early area.
    • First tier only provides a few slots for ingredients, successive tiers provide more slots and more options for what to grow
• Uniqueness
  • Base upgrades should be things that provide utility that is unobtainable anywhere else
• Idle utility (think producing anything in Stardew)
  • Garden is a good example, grows while you're away and you don't have to worry about it. Or maybe you do have to worry about it until you get that {witchy version of a sprinkler} upgrade
• Required upgrades for progressing through the story
