Looking through the posts on this thread I don't really see you being explicit on what you want, or why. So, I will tell my story and hope that it helps.
I think you should buy a moderately expensive tripod like the one you propose. This may or may not be the last tripod/head that you buy, but you will be the wiser from the experience. No one can really tell you what to buy. They can only tell about their personal experience. Mine is based on using full-frame bodies (Contax G2, Nikon F5, D810, Z6ii, Z7ii and Z9 with lenses up to 70-200mm) for hiking, traveling, architectural, portrait and macro photography.
I have settled on three main tripods for three different purposes: A Gitzo 01 (30+ years old); a Gitzo Traveler Series 2; and a Gitzo Series 3 Mountaineer.
The 01 is the lightest (2.7 lb with ballhead) and shortest--both closed and extended. It has been around the world several times and works as smoothly as when new. I use it, for example, when travelling by motorcycle or canoe, where space is at a premium. It is short, comes up about chest high, but I have never been bothered by this for landscape and architectural photography, believing that the compromise is worth the size and weight savings. It is a little unsteady for the 70-200mm, but, any port in a storm, eh?
The Traveler (4.1 lb with ballhead) is my most recent acquisition (3 years). I regard this as a "serious" tripod for photo travel. There is a Series 1 version, but this is sufficiently flimsy as to not be worth the minimal weight savings. (This personal opinion also applies to why I am not seduced by tripods such as that made by Peak Design. One can get by using nearby ledges, or pillars and trees, to lean against.) The legs fold up so that the ballhead is enclosed in between them to make it shorter for packing.
Finally, I have the Mountaineer. This travels around in the trunk of my car. I use it for everything else. For instance, I sometimes do photo restorations, so I use this to macro photograph originals--perhaps hanging on the wall--without touching them. Should my Z800mm ever materialize, I will use it for birding.
I have had other tripods, including wooden ones (the original carbon), but these are my current goto's. I've only arrived at this combination by my personal experience...I just think there is no other way to know what is best for you except by diving into to the moderate,/affordable end of the pool and find out what floats your boat (Does this count as a mixed metaphor?).
One thing to watch for is the method for connecting the camera to the head. Some methods are proprietary, flimsy or unsafe. Stick with Arca Swiss compatibility or you might find yourself left out when you forget your plate at home and no one has your proprietary brand...In a crowd of photographers several are likely to have a spare Arca Swiss compatible plate to lend. Also pay attention to how easy, and the time it takes (particularly for low-to-the-ground shots), to set up the tripod. Are there parts that are likely to pinch your fingers when you are in a rush? Does it clean up easily?
Heads are a whole other topic. A ballhead is as good as any place to start and begin to learn.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
