Silver Star Story Complete and Eternal Blue Complete are definitely worth it.
Skip the rest, that's all you need.
When people say they love the Lunar series, they mean those two games (or at least the Sega CD originals those remakes are based on). Nothing else matters or is necessary to grasp the series.
