The piano player is good , the bass player is ok and will probably improve . You say the guitarist is bad . If that’s true about his playing , maybe he’ll get better and maybe he won’t, but what’s troubling is that your convo with him shows what’s seems to be a complete lack of self awareness . This will become a problem down the road with him with other things if all true.
If you’re unsure of your assessment of him and what went down at rehearsal you can always ask the keys and bass player what they thought and if they think you’re all ready to gig and their overall assessment

You can always just give it a shot and see where it goes , and bail down the road if need be, but if you’re truly not happy with the product, the money’s not worth it and or you think it’s a waste of time then bail now .
Going on what you’ve told us but not actually being there it’s kinda tough for us to decide for you, but I’d probably give it a shot

Maybe just honestly tell him your not comfortable playing out unless you get things a little tighter through more rehearsal time .
Do you like the guys ? That’d make it a little easier to give it a go . If not than why bother

I’ve played with some good musicians on and off but i learned over the years if they were total tools it just wouldn’t last anyway so why waste my time. The only time I’ve suffered through that is if I was subbing occasionally , the money was decent and I enjoyed the music we were playing
I gotta like the guys I’m gonna be playing with in long term situations.
