Unlikely. They classify this more for small garden beds. Would it work - sure . But would likely overheat give the amount of space you need to work on.
For the job you describe, you need to use (rent?) an HD commercial tiller, depending on how hard your soil is.
I find the attachments for the trimmer are very handy (pole saw, hedge trimmer, steel blade edger, etc). You have one "Power Head" and several attachment tools. It saves a lot of storage space and expense vs. separate tools.
I also plan to do a full Reno this fall and my plan is to get some top soil delivered fill in the low spots after nuking the existing lawn.

Do we think this would do the job? My soil isn't super compacted and I can water it down first if that will help with the initial breakup. Currently there is grass which I will spray with glysophate first a couple times before tilling.
I might add more areas down the line which is why I'd prefer to buy vs. rent as well -- plus I think I may need to till more than once before I sow the seeds.

It sounds like you will need to rent/borrow a full sized, commercial grade unit (the rear tine units are the best). This unit will just spin on top of anything except loose soil. Also, be careful about watering the soil first. If too wet, you will just clog the tines with mud.
Not to be discouraging, but relating my real-world experience, and maybe save you some grief and $$,

To answer your question directly, no I don't think this tiller will work for that size, in fact my recommendation is to use a dethatcher + scarifier (reddit likes Sun Joe vs Greenworks) to rake out some of the dead grass then make slots for the wildflower seeds to go into respectively. Make sure you compact the soil a little for seed to soil contact.
