In comparison, R86212 is listed as not as powerful and is built more closely to the Ryobi high torque though future Milwaukee may move towards this design.
Now I'm in thinking mode and would like some feedback:
What's the use case for this high torque (1,300 ft./lbs. of breakaway torque 900 ft./lbs. of fastening torque)
vs
the mid-torque model (650 ft./lbs. of Breakaway Torque 500 ft./lbs. of Fastening Torque)
Is the high torque too much, or the mid-torque not enough, in other words if i should get only 1, which one? or is there a case to be made (to the wife) that I might need both? And how important is the rubber boot thing if I'm only going to be using it occasionally?
Looking to teach my sons about changing tires mainly. I've never had a impact wrench before, always done it manually.

You're unlikely to find anything in your house or on your car that this impact wrench cannot handle. It's a 1,000% upgrade from a breaker bar.
On the extremely off chance that you find something that this impact can't handle, you still have the breaker bar and cheater bar option.
Like others have said, the high-end stuff... You'll know it if you need it. Even then, you find a single bolt this gun can't handle, there's still penetrating lubricants and heat guns you can pull out. But, the average home/car won't defeat this unit.
