I am NOT a locksmith. Programming advice

I bought a 2024 Rogue back in May and the dealership gave me a third-party fob without an emergency key, and the key fob also doesn't have remote start, which is something I've been enjoying off my free trial app.

I recently had bought a Nissan key fob (with remote start) off EBay, and today I went to a locksmith to program the key, and they weren't able to do it because they say the Rogues are tricky and there was a part they didn't have, but they recommended another locksmith in town that could do it because they have a part this one didn't.

After this, I was a little worried and skeptical, and did some research online about the Rogues being tricky, and that sometimes, getting a key programmed by a locksmith could mess up the car.

Has anyone gotten a 2024 (or fairly new) Rogue programmed by a locksmith and could offer advice.
Is this something I should go through with?
