I have a MacBook Pro from 2017 2.3 GHZ, and I am considering an upgrade. Is it worth it?

  The jump from Intel to M* is huge. Whether that's worth it for you - hard to say. You can get a good deal on a refurbished or used M* MBP and try it out. My 2021 M1 Max MBP is still going strong; so strong I just can't justify a new one. Biggest thing to note is how many external displays you want to drive. I got the M1 Max to drive my 2-4.

  Absolutely. I had a 2017 machine and any Apple Silicon machine will run circles around what you already have.

  The biggest difference between this model and the M1 is that ... All* software now has native Apple Silicon builds. * Except abandonware**, of course, but Rosetta is so good you need not notice. That said, I personally recommend never triggering Rosetta which helps you avoid accidentally running legacy drivers etc. ** For some reason, including Steam's installer, even though the games it wraps are universal/native ARM.
