I would like some advice. I have been offered a dedicated IP through
NORD. Is it worth it or is it not needed? Pros and cons would be
very helpful. Thank you.

NORPVPN is software that installs a VPN. Not really trying to solve

STFW I see:

AIUI if your traffic connects to the Internet via a shared IP address
and one customer does something to cause that IP address to be blocked
(e.g. fail2ban, realtime blackhole lists, etc.), you will not be able to
connect to those hosts.
(I expect nordvpn is constantly tearing their hair out trying to lift
blocking and trying to educate customers not to trigger blocking.)
I suggest starting with the base plan (e.g. shared IP address). If you
experience shared IP address blocking, upgrade to the dedicated IP address.
