I bought an XBox One X because I wanted to experience Red Dead Redemption 2 without waiting for -- or even if -- a PC release. As you would expect, the XBox One X provides a complete out-of-the-box experience. Plug it into power, plug it into ethernet, and turn it on and start playing. Yes, it supports wifi but I always wire gaming rigs and consoles because my family is very much into multiplayer games and wifi tends to be a pain point for gaming.
It comes with Red Dead 2 but it is not pre-installed, and when you install it it will also need a sizeable update before you can play. So no you won't be playing immediately.
It supports 4K and HDR, but if 4K/HDR are important for you, please research that your TV or monitor work without problems with XBox One. I used it for a week at 1080p before I bought a 4K TV, and expected the frame rate in Red Dead 2 to be noticeably slower, but was pleased to see that upgrading to 4K the only thing you notice is the visual improvements.
You may think 1TB of storage is a lot, but in this day and age that is enough to hold about 15 games. After that you either need to add an external drive via USB (slower I/O), replace the internal HDD with a bigger one (opening case voids warranty), or live with it and wish you had bought the bigger model.
