re: Gas water heater, how hard to replace?

I had to do the same thing earlier this year. I hired a plumber to install it while I was at work and he got there and said it wouldn’t fit in my attic. I knew it would bc I measured it multiple times to be certain. So I called a buddy and we hoisted the old one down and the new one up with a ratchet strap. They make a shark bite installation kit that makes it incredibly easy. I got a new gas hose as well just to be on the safe side. YOUTUBE is a great resource for this project. $1k+ for install is insane.

Purely personal experience - so take it for what it's worth
We put Rheem Professional in December 2020 (maybe November). Already having problems that require it be replaced. Rheem can't supply the replacement parts so it's being replaced. Maybe I got a lemon - but sounds like this part failure (controller and/or actual pilot device) is kind of common
Model PROG50-38N RH60
Didn't get it at HD - got thru smaller supplier. So maybe model wouldn't be the same. Even longer explanation on how I got it - but I assume the person who got it for me did not have expectation that I was getting a crappy model
