The big thing here is that this includes 2 years of AppleCare. For some people that's really important. For others, its not important at all.
I do think this will be $169.99 without AppleCare all over on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Community Reviews
Apple AirPods Pro 3 with two years of AppleCare+ stands out as a way to get Apple's top earbuds with built-in protection at a lower effective price than buying coverage separately. The included AppleCare+ is the main draw, since it can simplify replacements and even cover a full unit swap in some cases. The deal has appeared before, and similar or better prices may show up around Black Friday or through other Costco and Uber Eats gift card math. It is a stronger value if you want the coverage now rather than waiting for a possible lower sale.

The deal includes 2 years of AppleCare+, which would cost $40 per year if bought separately, so matching that coverage would cost about $160 on its own. That makes $199 a strong value if you want the protection, especially since AppleCare+ can simplify replacements and battery-related service.
If you do not need them right away, waiting can make sense because this price has appeared before and may drop to about $189 on Black Friday, with some expecting $169.99 without AppleCare on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. If you want the included AppleCare+ now, $199 is still better than paying $250 without it.
AppleCare+ covers replacement when battery health falls below 80%, and AirPods battery health is not directly measurable, so the service can effectively result in a replacement unit for the service fee. Costco has also reportedly replaced the whole set when a single AirPod was lost.
Stacking Costco-discounted Uber Eats gift cards and Uber Eats promos can cut the effective price well below sticker price, with reported totals around $173 before tax and even about $149.52 including tax in one breakdown. The savings depend on promo availability, fees, and whether you have Uber One or Costco Executive rewards.

YMMV w Costco.
I would be surprised at that steep of a drop without some kind of Doordash, ymmv coupon, etc but I hope you are right.
