I am totally talking out of my a$$ as a lay person / consumer, but I think powerline networking has largely been supplanted by mesh networks in the consumer space. With mesh, you have less fuss, WiFi being able to connect a far larger number of devices, faster data transfer speed, and you just can't beat the convenience.

(That said, I would personally say powerline networking is generally more reliable if the electrical wiring at your home isn't all that noisy.)

If you insist on, or have specific needs for a powerline networking setup, I don't think it is disasterous to go with the TP Link unit you mentioned. It is cheap, and it is still capable of doing Gigabit ethernet, so it is more than enough for most home Internet connections.
