If you budget responsibly, and it fits your budget, absolutely.
Otherwise, bad idea.

There’s not really a poll option that reflects that, but I’ll make the answer for responsible people who know what they want and vote: totally.

Yeah. Everyone can make their own decisions, indeed. I'm just really curious how people feel when making this particular decision and why do they do it. Who would want to play the first act of Baldurs Gate 3 years before release and not only have to wait on a cliff hanger but also start with the worst version of the game as it will only improve. Seems to me, really odd and it's making me so curious especially cause PoE2 is going to be free to play.
