Not a bad collection of bits. I prefer an Anker 6 port 60W usb power supply but then I typically have 3-5 Pis running at once and that handles all of them.

Not essential unless you have no sub mouse/keyboard spares lying around. I have all my Pis set up to run xrdp so that I can vnc into them instead of needing a bunch of displays. You *do* need a kbd/mouse/display for an initial setup though

Neat; hadn’t seen that before - but the starter kit includes a breadboard anyway. I have a really nice Wombat breadboard.
