Worth getting a used Quest 2 for developing PVCR game ports?

I am a graphics programmer and have worked in a couple of decently sized renderers. Have had a Quest 3S for a while and i absolutely loved it (had to return it cuz of poor QC in the unit I got). Since then i have had plans to help develop VR ports of their games for small indie teams and single devs. Unfortunately Quest 3 is not even available in my country, and feel Quest 3S is just not a worthy upgrade over a used Quest 2. Even so it's just 2x expensive compared to used Quest 2.

Getting a decent deal (~200usd, yes it's expensive but are most things here) on a used Quest 2, 128gb variant.

Quest 2 is going out of support next year so am confused if it's even worth getting it. And knowing the kind of company meta is i wouldn't be surprised if they force some updates on it sometime later that limits it's PCVR compatibility. Would have loved something like SteamVR for the open ecosystem but steam just doesn't sell here. And yeah other brands like Pico don't sell either too.

I want the technology to succeed so much, and help some of the gorgeous indie games bring their titles to VR but am confused right now.

Any help would be appreciated!
