Checking listed and solds on ebay there is an alarming number of this model listed right now for parts only with various problems like error codes.
It could be a good deal but it could be not great.

With a good (and modern) AV Receiver, you're running all of your devices into the receiver which can handle all the different multichannel audio streams you could throw at it and playing it through the connected surround sound speaker system and then (most often) using simple pass-thru to send the untainted video to the TV for display while keeping the audio and video in proper sync (most common use case).
When it comes to a decision on video upscaling, you can test for yourself if you'd rather ask the receiver to do it or your TV. YMMV on which is the best choice, which is why you can opt for pass-thru of video without having the receiver process it -- leaving the TV to do its thing, if that's your preference. I'd wager most people opt for pass-thru but it's a choice you can make should you find that the AVR seems to handle it better than your TV (pretty unlikely, but again -- your choice).
AND, you're running all your HDMI/etc. cables into the receiver and sending one HDMI to the TV so you're TV is always displaying whatever is active coming in from the receiver without needing to switch or to program a multifunction remote to switch to a different TV input for each device. YMMV on the relative benefit of this, but TV's aren't exactly chock full of separate inputs vs. many households rising device count.
At any rate, AVR's serve a very useful purpose in doing that they do best and allow TV's to simply do what THEY do best.

In the scenario you described above, your not going to get that level of surround sound experience using a TV sent to soundbar or 'dumb amp' no matter how many speakers you connect to it. An AVR is not for you, then.
The main use-case I see for eARC is when you're using sound originating at the TV, like smartTV apps (netflix,etc.), so you can get that sound back to the AV Receiver so it plays through your surround sound system and not the craptastic TV speakers.
I wouldn't want to send the audio from a 4k bluray player + nvidia shield + Switch + PS4 direct into the TV, all on separate HDMI (assuming I even have 4 HDMI in), and then re-route their audio via eArc back to a receiver, soundbar, whatever. eARC is more like a workaround to get your TV audio (again, from thingss like built-in smartTV apps, or maybe a digital tuner) back the the receiver/sound system. It isn't really purpose built to make your TV the hub all all things like an AVR is meant to be, though you could certainly trouble yourself to use it so (with enough HDMI ports and proper eARC support).
I'd never want to use regular ARC in any case except an entirely unavoidable one so I could at least get whatever audio I can (like 5.1 compressed) back to the receiver/sound system to avoid the TV speakers. ARC's audio bandwidth is extremely limited and not going to carry uncompressed multi-channel back and not going to carry high bit rate audio back (Atmos, Dolby X, etc.).

Read on here where coffee experts SWEAR that a particular grind size and type makes a difference, but America's test kitchen did several blind tests and none of them could pick out the different grind sizes and types. It's just like audiophiles claim speaker cables and power cables make a difference. It's all snake oil.
