Is the meike 85mm f 1 8 stm worth it?

Yes, if you shoot full frame and want an 85mm for portraits. It's the classic full-frame portrait focal length, with soft backgrounds and a comfortable working distance, as the portraits page explains. It has autofocus but no stabilisation, so keep your shutter speed up when you shoot handheld.

It mounts on Sony E, Nikon Z and Fujifilm X. On APS-C it frames like about 128mm, which is long for most everyday work, so there it's more of a telephoto than a portrait lens. If you're on APS-C, look at the Meike 50mm f/1.8 STM first. This is the original version, and the Meike 85mm f/1.8 Pro is the one to compare it with.
