I don't think about what makes a good starter project. I don't test the waters, I just jump in. Think of it this way...maybe your first hat won't be perfect. But the second one will! I love the hat too. Make what you love and you will keep trying until you've got it.
I've yet to do a fair isle project. I've got a plaid pattern that is a must knit for me. So, I'm jumping in...I'll have it figured out before the end of the project.
That hat was my first time working with fair isle and DPNs... probably my 3rd knitting project. It was challenging enough to keep my interest, but not so hard I wanted to give up.
I think you should go for it. I tried Fair Isle once and loved it. It's only two colors after all, and I'm sure you can do it

Remember: It's just knitting. There are no knitting police. Nobody will die if you misread a chart or purl when you should have knit. Yarn can be rescued, projects can be restarted, fit can be altered, all mistakes can be banished. All you have to do is unravel and try again.
Great hat! Me too, love to know where you found the pattern. :D
Have fun!
