I think in terms of hardware it’s worth it if you value the convenience. Stuff like the Apple Watch, Airpods, iPad, Apple TV, is good hardware and they work well together.
On the software side you can use cross platform software wherever possible to not rely as much on Apple’s services, in case you wanted to switch, then it would be too difficult
I don’t know if you’ve tried it yet, but setting the “Haptic Touch” option to “Fast” gets you a bit closer to what you could do with 3D touch.
It’s under Accessibility -> Touch -> Haptic Touch
Personally I like it better vs the default setting.
