On that note, is it worth it to get a desoldering iron ? Like, what is essentially a soldering iron and a desoldering pump combined ? I've had little success desoldering in the past, and broke boards because of it.

Desoldering is one of those things where the right tool is almost mandatory.
Sure, you can desolder with a cigarette lighter and some luck, but you’ll be much happier with the iron.
Yes. If you can afford it (around 100 $€ will get you a basic one) and you expect to use it more than once, it'll save you a lot of grief.
