Is SH5 worth the purchase right now for my U-Boat sim, or I am better off just sticking with SH3?

It won't hurt to wait. A patch is scheduled to fix major issues and the mod community has been in full swing. I predict that in several months SH5 will be ready for those that are hesitating because of its unfinished state.
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

The requirement for persistent internet connection and no offline gameplay is a show stopper for many. Unless Ubi relents on that, I don't see a major shift for those who don't buy SH5. That seems to be a bigger issue than a buggy game release many people have come to expect these days. Yes, I completly agree and I'm one of those "many people". I bought and own Silent Hunter 1 and SH1 Commanders Edition, SH2 (and DC as well), SH3 and SH4+U-boat (resuming all Silent Hunter series) but I wont buy SH5 until Ubisoft drops it's ridiculous DRM "protection system", which BTW was already cracked!

I love SH3 and SH4 but I agree, I'm going to be watching from the sidelines to see how this pans out. If we lose the DRM I'll get it for sure but otherwise, no sale. I play Silent Hunter when I'm traveling and do not often have internet connection so there's just no point.

That seems to be a bigger issue than a buggy game release many people have come to expect these days. That is a big reason for hesitation on my part. I think Rise of Flight has (or is going to) remove the requirement for an internet connection. Maybe Ubi will follow suite?

Even after they remove the DRM (I'm almost certain that they will), I still don't know if I'll buy SH5. Personally, I think giving Ubi any money at all just rewards them for being jerks. Better to see them go bankrupt (not likely) and sell the SH name to someone who will release a good, DRM-free product.

As much as I love SH5 I just cannot get myself to recommend it to anybody because of the stupid DRM. I am having a great time with it, but I simply don't have an argument for those who won't buy it until the need for constant internet connection is abolished.
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

SH5 has been severely savaged in the user reviews on Amazon.com. So far, 72 users have rated it and it barely gets above one star (out of five stars). That may tell you something - it did me...

Worth buying now? Any decent patches or mods?
