If you have multiple cards with same offer, buy bestbuy giftcards and use them for payment.
If used right - you can bring down it to 750 - 3 * 25 = 675$

I've heard and seen MacBooks last forever (my backup self upgraded 2012 pro still works and never had any hardware issues) but we live in a world where statistics aren't always on our side. Don't take the risk. For a MacBook Pro of this sort I think it's 5$ a month if you don't want to pay up 200$ up front.
Here's a simple formula for insurance. Can you afford the cost of bad luck? Do you have a backup in case you're unlucky or clumsy?
256gb won't be enough as apps only get bigger and maybe OSes too.
If you're cloud based and don't need a lot of apps and don't mind waiting for a better deal, go for it

One buys it for peace of mind so that if an issue comes up it won't be a large immediate expense and/or 'scary' trying to figure out who to ask for help. You simply get help from Apple.
It is insurance so of course it usually isn't needed. The only way Apple could even offer it was if it wasn't usually needed.
You paying 'x' now to avoid paying 'x+y+ more time wasted looking for help' later.
That said my approach would be to buy using a credit card that doubles the 1 year included warranty & I'm fine with dealing with the credit card company trying to claim their version of a 'warranty'.
For most I'd say just buy Apple care and walk into Apple stores (if you live near one) with any issues.
