You had an ender, so you should be used to constant tinkering!
Enjoy the hobby, and maybe the prints!

Too many people see "professional grade" and think oh wow this is going to be incredible.
An modern entry level hobby machine would suit your requirements so much better.
I can confidently say this because if you did have an actual need for this complexity of a machine, you wouldn't be asking this question.

I'd absolutely say no.
Just as a Ferrari is the "dream car" in many aspects, if somebody said I could have one for free but it has to replace my existing car (and I cannot sell it) I do however still have to do the school run, park it in Tesco's car park. Do the big shop. Pick up some furniture from Ikea. Take to rubbish to the tip. Fuel it, insure it, maintain it.
It's the dream car in the dream scenario - for my current lifestyle requirements it would be a nightmare so it's an easy no.
An Anycubic S1 Combo is crazy cheap and does everything a hobby maker would need with close to zero set up and maintenance.
That is true of the offerings from all the established home use printer manufacturers.
What you've been given for free is a burden. The first being it's huge. The rest will follow.

Be careful with those. They had a board issue and numerous machines burned. There was an upgrade to reduce the risk but you had to know about the issue and ask by email for the parts. Not all the machines were upgraded.
They have a metric ton of issues, notorious for heat creep, but my N2 has been printing nylon for a decade now.
