Do you unlock heroes or have to spend monkey money?

Depends on the hero. You need to purchase most of them.

I unlocked like 2 or 3 then stopped. I just don't want to waste monkey money if I would end up unlocking something I bought through play.

If you have Jones, Obyn, and Gwen then you can feel safe buying everyone else.

I have all of them, multiple skins too, never bought MM for real money, you get quite a lot of MM playing harder maps, I now have 40k and have nothing to spend it on.

Not sure what the distinction is. You unlock heroes by spending monkey money (apart from the original four you get when you start). You get monkey money by playing the game in any mode (but more for doing new things and theoretically harder things). The only difference is you get to choose what order and what balance (unlocking higher MK first, or more hero options, or more consumable to use when needed) you prefer.

So using MM for this is just a flexible unlock system, rather than making you do fixed tasks based on some designers whims for each thing that is unlocked (like the way the Dartling Gunner is unlocked after 500k pops or whatever), but it is still an unlock system.

Its easy to get monkey money and you'll get lots of it through playing the game. Unlocking all the heroes doesn't take long.
