If you have time, it is definitely worth it! Even if you don't have enough time to walk all the way from Santiago you can take a bus to Finisterre to spend a few days there at the end. Or take a bus to Cee and walk from there. And Muxia if you have time.
The Primitivo was my first, I completed it this spring so I can't address what it will be like in the fall, but would like to second Peregrina2000's enthusiasm and advice not to let others discourage you. I met many on the Primitivo for whom this was their first Camino, some better prepared...
I encourage you to forget about what's ahead and focus on where you are - when it gets hard, just shorten your stride and take smaller steps, you'll get up there. Enjoy the vistas, enjoy it all. Ultrea et suseia!
There's probably a good "Camino as metaphor for life" in those smaller steps...
For what it's worth, I and everyone I met on the Primitivo felt the same way - but we all made it! Just one foot in front of the other. Loved every minute, can't wait to go back
