I think this kind of thing really does vary from individual to individual. In my case, I feel like it's worth it. But I know that I'll probably do at least 2 run throughs, which will come out to a decent amount of time sunk into the game - significantly more than a good portion of the games that come out nowadays. And chances are, I'll enjoy those hours quite a bit. So for me, I can afford it and I know that I'll get a good experience out of it, so why not?
However, I do understand the reasoning behind not buying the game - the content gating with amiibo is definitely not the best practice, and if you base your purchases off principle, then chances are that's enough to keep you off of the remaster. It's a shame too - Wind Waker HD did a lot to change the general opinion about the game, and I was hoping that the remaster for Twilight Princess could do the same. But issues like the amiibo gating are going to make it hard for the remaster to have any sort of positive effect on public opinion.
As a bit of a side note, I really don't understand the complaints about the Zelda/Link amiibo functions. You shouldn't feel compelled to buy an amiibo just because you can use it for a little cheat code once per day - it's effects are so much of an afterthought that there's simply no actual change in gameplay with or without them. The Ganondorf and Wolf Link amiibo have more important functionalities that shouldn't be gated, but complaining about the other amiibo is useless - having them, or not having them, will not improve your gameplay experience at all.
