IMO, it would depend on what you want to do. If you're into racing or freestyle, I personally wouldn't recommend it. It's just not built for that kind of duty.
OTOH, it's got some advantages over a traditional FPV aircraft. I fly both - I have the DJI FPV and several 5" and 7" quads running the DJI Air Unit with Betaflight FC's. Those quads fly much more precisely with no shaking or wobbling in flight, so I prefer those in strong winds.
The biggest problem of the DJI FPV drone is the tune. We don't have access to the PID's, so we can't adjust the tune. As it is, it shakes really bad when flying in rough air or wind. This causes the video to really shake hard in the goggles, which causes pilot fatigue very quickly. It's just no fun to fly in turbulence or windy conditions.
But the DJI FPV uses O3 so it has much better range than my other quads. The in-goggle video is also significantly better, as good as the video is with the Air Unit/Caddx Vista, etc. Also, the DJI FPV has normal and sport modes, where it flies just like a regular DJI camera aircraft. This is good if you've never flown FPV and want to learn how to fly.
So there's advantages and disadvantages. I still have my FPV drone and I still fly it when there's not a lot of wind. But when it's windy, it stays home on the shelf and I fly my regular quads (or my Mavic 3).
If you can find the combo at a discount, it's still a good deal, even though it's a dead product now. I don't think DJI is maintaining it anymore. I believe the V2 goggles are already out of production, so I would imagine the FPV drone will be dropped shortly too.
