If you want that particular combination of goodies and enjoy the sound of it, Pianoteq is hard to beat. I don't know what stage you're at in learning the piano, but for the reasons you mentioned, I'd buy it and not look back: The chord recognition is a great learning tool, not having to wait for samples to load encourages a few minutes noodling or practicing when you might otherwise not bother, and the touch responsiveness/dynamics are good (I think) for helping develop good playing technique. I've spent 15-20 years chasing great sample libraries and it's only this year that I've found ones that I enjoy playing as much as Pianoteq. Pianoteq 7 Stage Edition Virtual Instrument Software. I'd say get the standard edition as soon as you can, and if you find yourself longing for a different sort of sound, poke around in the world of samples later on. Modeled Virtual Piano Plug-in with Adjustable Parameters and 5 Mic Positions - macOS/Win VST, AU, AAX Native. You could easily be put off playing/practicing by getting a sample library that you just don't get on with or that you don't feel 'connected to' when you play. That's unlikely to happen with Pianoteq, especially if you know you already like the sound.
