I think the mobula8 with the O3 is a good choice. I recall extensive discussion by Bardwell and Ian (Mads tech) on the firmware upgrade that allows goggles 3 to work with O3 air unit (which it initially did not for about 6 months I believe), but I have not tested this myself. Most people using the O3 air unit use the Goggles 2 or the Integra, and both give excellent quality. You might consider whether you can get a discounted goggles 2 now that the new goggles 3 is widely available.
On "going fpv": one of the most important issues is that it is possible to overheat and damage a vtx unit on a drone if the lipo is left plugged in when the drone is not airborne. Its a great idea to have a small fan on the workbench that you point at the vtx whenever you are working on the drone and have power going to it - I use a small fan with a rechargeable battery, its probably overkill but this fan is also great for cleaning keyboards and lots of stuff:

A common situation is when your drone is connected to the laptop and betaflight configurator, and sometimes you use the lipo to power the drone while its connected to the laptop.
