I'd just go for it. I do not think a time is going to come where all the rules are decided on and all the drone models have stabilised, this is all going to keep changing. If you are waiting for that you will never buy anything, and that would be a shame because it is a fun hobby.

If I do go for one, I would only be flying it for recreational use and not in cities but certainly over and around housing estates and maybe little towns. And of course in open countryside.

You can't fly over housing estates or towns, if you stick to the rules, as these would class as a "built up area". You can fly "around" if you keep 150m away
