There are also other videos that's about 8-10 mins that details in length about the hardest part, which is running the vinegar/descaler thru an external recirculation pump

As I mentioned in my previous post, only you can determine if there is any value in not running out of hot water or worrying about a leaking tank. If it has never happened to you, then there is no value and not worth the premium.
If you do regular flushes of your tank, you're far less likely to have issues like leaks. It's just the vast majority of people never flush their tanks.
