Is a Viper or other budget bristle board good enough for a beginner?

Verified-purchase reviewers at major retailers rate the Viper Shot King well for casual home use, and r/Darts users generally say it's serviceable to learn on. However, multiple r/Darts threads warn the included darts, flights and shafts are low quality and worth replacing, and that the sisal and thicker wires won't match a Winmau Blade for bounce-out rate or longevity.
