Tough question with I think two answers.
The first answer is yes, because there's an absolute treasure trove of content that can easily last you hundreds of hours if it clicks with you and you like building different kinds of characters.
The second answer is no, because the game is six years old and you can regularly get all of the content on PC for under half that price. But I also know they have to recoup their dev costs for the port, too. I suppose it's worth noting that the expansions are not as old - Forgotten Gods, the second expansion, was a 2019 release. $55 is probably roughly what I paid for it all, and I don't regret it at all.
I think it's whether or not you're cool paying the premium in this case for a "new release". I'm sure Xbox will eventually get the discounts too, though don't know when. One thing to note is that the game is more Diablo 2 than Diablo 3, though it's not exactly either. There's no adventure mode - you play through the campaign to level up - though there is a rift-style type of end game now with the Forgotten Gods expansion. The itemization is somewhere in between D2 and D3. Through the campaign (3x), rares, epics (uniques), and legendaries (better uniques) will drop regularly and it's what you'll outfit in, but they don't drop tailored to your class like D3. In the end game, legendaries and sets are what you'd wear exclusively, and it does take some grinding to get them; you won't get like 10 copies of the same thing in one playthrough with slightly different stats.
