VR port is hit and miss. Motion controllers are unusuable unless you have Vive wands so only get it if you have those or plan on using a flight stick or Xbox controller. One of the few things Rebirth did well was making the UI easily usable with a controller so it's viable.

Where the port falters is that they changed or cut a bunch of random stuff out of the game to make it easier to run. They made the entire story and Universe different from the non-VR version for some reason. But obviously it's not so different that they couldn't re-use a ton of stuff from the original game. There's less NPCs in stations (which were crap anyway), fewer stations per sector and so on. 

As for whether it's a good space sim, it only feels like that while flying around and seeing the shadows in your cockpit. Being stuck with one ship, the game had a fraction of the choices that previous X games had and for the industry side, a huge draw to the series, building stations and fleets was frustratingly buggy. Rebirth earned it's reputation as the worst X game and VR doesn't really change that. X4 is a much better game even with it's flaws but it won't be getting a VR version because VR version of Rebirth sold poorly. Rebirth VR is a bargain bin space game so don't go paying the $40 they're still charging for it.
