Not as slick of a deal from a raw value standpoint, but paying more for stuff you don't want / won't use even if it's a great price ain't really slick neither.
There are some pros to having a combined drill and driver. You get two tools in one, which saves on costs, and it's more convenient than constantly swapping between tools. But there are also cons. Drills don't have enough torque to reliably drive fasteners through hard materials. They drive fasteners slowly compared to an impact driver. And they rotate much faster, which means you have less control, and screw heads tend to get damaged.

Don't worry about paying up for Brushless, HP batteries or more expensive brands, these tools have handled everything I've thrown at them as a mediocre DYIer
...
Since you don't need other tools, I don't recommend you buy this combo, with 200 to 300, you can buy a good set of impact and drill, like markita, milwaukee, or dewalt.
People can use impact drills for drilling holes with special impact drill bits, but you wouldn't want to try to drill big holes deep because the impact is not going to like that at all.
People use drill to drive in screws and bolts, but you wouldn't want to try to drive in big screws deep into hardwood. Or if you have to drive in a lot of screws or bolts, the impact is just simply going to fly through them much faster.
So for easy tasks, an impact driver is a good do-all since they're usually lighter and can fit in better spots. Plus you get the ugga-dugga.
But if you gotta drill a good old hole, get that drill.
For comparison, this is the kit I had my eye on for $199 (isn't on sale though): ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver and Impact Driver Kit w/(2) 2.0 Ah Batteries, Ch... [homedepot.com]. The tools are brushless and seem to have more torque/power.
The 1/2" impact Wrench has a 1/2" Anvil which accepts 1/2" sockets. It's most commonly used for automotive work. https://www.homedepot.c

Automotive work is the second reason for wanting to buy a good driver. What spec should I look for to work with lug nuts for example? I plan to replace brake pads/rotors this summer.
I have the multi-tool that comes with this set and I wasn't impressed, it was under powered. It'll be fine for small projects but if you want to do something bigger it might not hold up

1 As far as impact drivers I think most are 1/4" because they are meant to fit bits, that is what they do. I think you have impact driver and impact wrench confused. Someone else that knows more might want to chime in on this tho
2 Usually you would want a hammer drill (or even a rotary drill but that is probably overkill) to drill thru concrete and you'll need special drill bits for that. Is it possible that a normal drill can do it? It might, depends tho
3 Brushless are more powerful and are more efficient when it comes to electricity use. Also, since they don't have brushes that means the brushes won't wear out. Of course a DIYer probably won't use the tools enough to actually wear out the brushes

if you're drilling something use the drill
if you're driving something use the driver
