Is this a good tablet for digital art? (i.e. drawing) null

I'm an artist and I bought this with the intention of using it to create art first and foremost. I've had it a few months and it's been a great tablet. I've been able to doodle whenever I wanted and done several finished pieces. I personally haven't noticed any lag while working unless I'm using line stability options. (I use Medibang as my drawing program if that makes a difference on this) Nothing major that has been a detriment to my work. The only thing I have noticed and become a slight concern was with the S Pen's nib. New from box the nib has a rounded ball at the end of it. Within a week of daily use and many long drawing sessions I noticed the nib was eroding away surprisingly fast. It hadn't even been a month and that ball tip was gone. Now almost 2 months later I've been keeping an eye on my nib and I feel the erosion has slowed down but sometimes I hear/feel a "scratching" sound coming from the pen on the tablet's screen (I don't use a screen protector). If I rotate the pen that scratching goes away and there's never any actual damage on the glass. I'm concerned I've hit like the "core" of the nib already. I looked up if the nib could be replaced and they can. I'm glad that's a possibility but I'm a bit disappointed that the nib could get used up THAT fast. They don't even include a replacement nib in box. So that might be something important for any artists to keep in mind about these tablets and their s pens. Oh and another thing the screen likes to take on a ghost image of stuff that's been on the screen. Like screen burn but it fades with time. I don't use my tablet on the brightest screen settings and I still get this ghosting fairly regularly. I don't even need to be doing something for that long for a ghosting to happen. I just ignore it since it will fade and it hasn't effected my art production either.

I use my s6 Lite mainly for coloring/drawing with the stylus, and there is a very slight occasional lag when using the stylus for drawing and/or coloring. I knew this when I purchased it, as I watched several YouTube videos (one of which was by an artist) that mention it. For less than half the price of the s6, I can live with an occasional 1-2 lag.

I don't know. The colors as far as pictures are vibrant, so I would assume the digital art would be nice also.
