Impossible to say, very personal choice. I would say 144Hz is nice to have for any gaming but definitely not essential to have an enjoyable experience on those types of games. A lot of people enjoy fast FPS games on 60Hz. As for HDR I am not sold on it, I am yet to see a good implementation of it. Having tried a few games on 2 different HDR monitors and an LG C9 OLED I came to the conclusion it often gives an over exposed or a sort of plastic shine to some surfaces. Added to this Win10 still has issues switching between HDR and non HDR apps I keep it switched off. Hopefully games will implement it better in the future.

As long as your video card can perform at 60 FPS or higher, you shouldn't notice any tearing. Though even at lower frame rates I don't know if that matters.
