Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if anyone with skills can share some tips or steer me away from attempting this that would be much appreciated.

As long as it doesn't end up like this: https://youtu.be/lfyaftYvFGg

Sounds like a can of worms. A soft spot in the floor probably means the subfloor needs to be replaced, and if the floor joist is also rotted, then you're really up a creek. I say just sell the house and move to an apartment.
