I've got an 85" TV and at that size you can absolutely tell the difference. If you've got a 55 or below it's probably not worth it, although you will notice a difference. See if you can try it out at a local store.

Even on a 55, you will still benefit from HDR if you have a TV that has HDR. Personally, I try to stick to 4k as a way to “future proof” my purchases. I think it’s unlikely we will ever see home releases in excess of 4K, especially for older films.

Depends a lot on your seated viewing distance. I have a 42" 4k monitor at my desk, and it's great for watching UHD blurays, but I sit ~2.5-3 feet away from it. If I were sat on a couch 6+ feet away it wouldn't really matter as much since the resolution would be mostly unnoticeable at that distance.

HDR however will be noticeable regardless of the seated viewing distance as a brighter more contrasty image will still look just as bright and contrasty at 10 feet as it does 3 feet.
