Is the APYUSD yield on pendle real?

This 17.4% is mostly real staking / lending yield (~17.4% of it). No meaningful token emissions. It is single-asset, so there is no impermanent loss to drag you below holding. It can still fall, but it isn't a disappearing subsidy.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 17.4% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

No impermanent loss here — the ~17.4% is real income on the very asset you'd be holding anyway. Only any emissions portion fades.
