The 300 is a leap in terms of force feedback quality, but still belt driven. It's held up well in terms of compatibility for a long time. That's the good news. The bad news is that I'd think it's only a matter of time before it no longer is. My 500 wasn't supported on GT7 for the PS5, but it worked with the PS4 version (even when played on a PS5 console). I ended up getting a Drive Hub device that spoofs other wheels so I could use it with the PS5 version of the game. But even that had its flaws. So I sold it to get to Fanatec DD.
All this to say... if you're a semi-casual gamer who wouldn't be upset with it POSSIBLY no longer being supported by next gen games in the coming years, I'd make the jump.
If you're a hardcore racer/gamer and you have a bit more budget, perhaps look into a used Logitech DD system. I got mine for ~$600 with wheel, pedals (including add-on clutch pedal) and 8nm boost kit. As good as the Thrustmaster FF wheels are, Direct Drive is a notable jump up coming from belt wheels.
Oh, and pretty much all of the Logitech wheels feel like toys.
EDIT: I just noticed this is the GT version which includes the upgraded pedal set versus the standard 2-pedal set that is included with the base 300 kit. That one is typically hard to find for much less than $300 new, so to get this WITH the better pedal set for $300 is kinda slick -- again, epecially if you're okay with this POTENTIALLY not having a long life in terms of game compatibility or don't mind getting a Drive Hub adapter [myshopify.com] if it does.
