The reviews are mixed for this product...but it does come with most of the tools needed for the sourdough. The most common complaint is that there are no instructions on how to use each of the tools since it claims as a starter kit.
I bake sourdough. I have rattan baskets with cloth covers which I use. I'm not sure how well these silicone baskets would work. I like the idea of them being easily cleaned, but I fear that the dough would stick to the basket.
Also, my set came with both a metal bench scraper (included in this set) and a plastic flexible dough scraper which is very helpful for getting the dough out of the bowl after bulk-fermentation.
This comes with a razor blade on a stick and I have one of those but never use it. It can be helpful if you want to put pretty patterns on the loaf, but I don't do that.

I believe that in this case, the word starter is not indicating that it is a 'starter kit' in the traditional terms. It is not a kit for 'starters', who are learning; instead it is a kit to make 'sourdough starter' - which is, by definition, a live, fermented culture of flour and water, containing wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria (like lactobacillus), that acts as a natural leavening agent and flavor enhancer for bread, replacing commercial yeast

I'm a "covid baker". Started out of necessity and then never stopped, LOL. I would not bother with this kit. You don't need half of this to start. And if you start, you'll either lose interest and realize you don't need half of this stuff or you'll realize you'd want different / high quality stuff.
I use a wide-mouth glass jar to store the starter (bake once a week) and any glass container like measuring cup or a tall mug to feed the starter. I prefer free-form bread or the loaves baked in baking pans, so I don't use any baskets at all. But if I did, I don't think silicone one would be a good choice, as others pointed out. I never used razor blade, just slash with a knife. If you're interested in trying sourdough, just try it without any kits with what you have at home. Brian Lagerstrom has great YT videos about sourdough bread.

When I ventured into sourdough, the basic items I got was a proofing basket, 6 qt enameled dutch oven, and a lame.
After about 2 years, I finally upgraded my Toshitos Nacho jar to something better looking for my starter.
Finally, since I'm already into gardening, I use my heat mat for starting seeds to proof as well, but not required unless your kitchen is in the low 60s like mines.

This kit comes with the stuff I think you actually want, but it doesn't include the glass jar. I used a tupperware for my starter for 4 years. You don't need a specialized glass jar.

If you end up liking the sourdough process then you can get more baskets to do bigger batches.
