How do glasses like this work for someone who wears eyeglasses for myopia and astigmatism, and doesn't like contacts?

they don't work for me having astigmatism with or without prescription glasses.

When I did a Vision Pro demo they had lenses on hand to accommodate my astigmatism. It was pretty nice…and about 10x the cost of this

Oh, that's really cool though that they can handle it!

It's funny that 3500 seems sooo much to spend for hardware now... over the last 25 years, it's gotten so much cheaper between lower price macbooks and not needing to upgrade phones and laptops nearly so often.
