Hello,

is the additional cost for digital thermostats in a new build with underfloor heating worthwhile in terms of more precise temperature control?

Best regards

To what extent do you want to regulate more precisely what might not work analogously?

No, not worth it. You can even consider leaving out the ERR completely with (your) underfloor heating... How often do you plan to change your room temperature and in which situations? Underfloor heating is slow - hence the question about the use case...

Hello,

in the rental apartment we have the "analogs" and they are partially inaccurate. The temperatures should actually be constant at 22 degrees.

Set once to 22 degrees and that's it, the analog ones do just as well.

Yes, and if it's then 21.8 degrees, wouldn't that be wrong? It still remains constant and does not change :)
For example, you have a scale from 1-5, if 3 is too cold, then you just set it to 4. And then you stick with it.

While some believe you can do without the ERR because once set you manage well with it, I have two rooms where I use the regulation and also notice in those rooms that it is colder than the rest.

You shouldn't let yourself be directed so much by numbers.
