I don’t see the paint of exploring many different kinds of 2D painting.
I would imagine that various constraints imposed by their various disadvantages can take you out of your comfort zone, for example when you use a tool that is unable to create small details, you will give up the small details and instead focus on the overall composition… and learning this may somehow become useful even when you return to using a tool that allows you to do details. Like, using an insanely wide brush could make you reinvent impressionism.
I would expect that a digital pen beats most other tools.
Probably yes, but the non-digital tools might give you an idea about what settings you want to try with the digital ones. For example, do you want the new color to completely overwrite the underlying one, or rather to blend with it. Or maybe—although this is mostly a fake purpose—setting the digital tool to resemble high-status non-digital tools (something that Leonardo da Vinci would use, as opposed to what a teenage manga fan uses) could add a high-status feeling to your pictures.
On the other hand, going digital and becoming familiar with the digital tools has some added value. For example, having a nice picture is cool, but turning it into a WordPress template could be more profitable.
I like the creation of idea-related sketches.

I would rather try different digital tools than different analog ones. Getting a 3D printer also imposes some constraints.
It has the added benefit that a lot of time sitting in school can be used for that purpose.
