I've got a reply on Reddit that may have answered this question, i've just skimmed through it untill now.

I think it's worth it if the goal is to learn by practice, not sure about it energy wise.
Interesting, I'll have to look into this myself 🧐 Thanks for the link
Oh, and i'll take a look at that github link later, thanks :)
