I have the Mini 3 pro. I would recommend it as for the price difference, the upgrades are worth it (Additional sensors for drone safety, follow through features).
I did not need the fly more combo because about 25 minutes of flight time is enough for me to get good shots in a single location and the charging is pretty quick.
Also, I was initially confused about Mini 3 with Fly more combo or Mini 3 pro and I'm happy to say that going with pro was the right decision.

Ahh I don't know whether to get the mini 3 or the mini 3 pro!
Also, does anybody have a point of view on whether to get the fly more plus batteries or not?

Get the Pro. Definitely worth the price when considering the obstacle avoidance. I had a bear miss with a basketball hoop that was placed on the sidewalk, my bad wasn't looking properly.
The fly more gives as the name suggest more fly time. I usually run through 2 batteries since I shoot events and homes etc with not enough time to charge and wait. But it depends on what you need it for.
Amazon has an amazing deal right now with the Pro + Fly More combo for $938 + Tax
I don't think so. They took 2 years between mini 2 and mini 3. Expecting mini 4 this year will be too soon
The jump from mini to mini 2 was 13 months. The transition from 2 to 3 was smack dab in the middle of the pandemic, with supply issues. However, the 2 was released November 2020 and the mini 2 pro came out may 2022 - which is 17 months. So, 15 months isn't impossible - thinking it'll happen. They just had a rare sale on the pro combo with RC, for no reason. I'm thinking it's possible!
Rumor is that the mini 4 is coming this month, so keep that in mind. These units may be on clearance soon.
I hope that's the case... I recall seeing the crazy deal for the DJI Mini + fly more combo at what was it $200-300 at Costco or something? My friend got it for his dad, who barely ever uses the thing, and I've borrowed it half a dozen times to survey our roof and double-check work that was done up there to hold our roofers (or whoever goes up there) more accountable. Also used it to inspect for other issues/damage and checking the gutters for clogs, etc. These drones are *super* handy for stuff like that and I really hope I can get one at a much lower price.

Had to read your third sentence a couple of times. My initial thoughts were apparently misguided:
1 Why is there a bear š» playing š basketball on the sidewalk?
2 Damn the bear missed the shot.
3 Whonder if this person posted this awesome drone video of a bear playing basketball.
4 That can't be right.
After reading it again...
"barely missed the basketball goal..."
edit "near miss" works as well
Thanks for the helpful comment. I'll wait for the mini 3 pro. Still would be nice to see the š» video.
