I just got Kodi & Exodus... Should I look into getting a VPN service like ExpressVPN? What's the risk in not getting it?

I use ExpressVPN due to content filtering at work. If I get kicked off or disconnected, my ip is still anonymous until VPN is reconnected automatically.

Its more along the lines if you are downloading the movies or TV shows to hdd. Your ISP can track certain files. Most Disney movies have trackers so your ISP can be notified and tell you to remove the file before your internet is back on. You stick it on the ext hdd and remove the torrent from your pc and you are good to go. A VPN would eliminate them tracking it to your ip address. Im sure you can run Kodi with no problems without the VPN.

I've been using NordVPN. Customer service is great, however I keep getting disconnected every time when I am download a torrent file from a P2P server (when not downloading torrent, but connected to VPN, I stay connected to P2P server).

I have followed every recommendation that customer service has provided to me and unfortunately nothing is working. This is happening on two computers that I own.

I use the built-in kill switch and it shuts down uTorrent and/or Deluge, however my entire internet connection goes down as well (have to restart computer in order to restore internet service to my computer).

If I go with PIA or Express VPN, can someone assure me that disconnects are infrequent?
