I think the trick is that the normal PS5 is already $450 (no disc drive) or $500 (with disc drive).

So do the features on the Pro version provide an extra $200 to $330 worth of value?

So far, as a PS5 owner, I'm not seeing it.

Only if you don't have one already. Some of the more intense games graphically have shit upscaling so they shimmer. If higher internal resolution can fix this while running at good FPS, it might be worth it for some people

Remember that you still can't build a gaming PC for $700 that performs similarly.
