yes, season 1 Rebels is OK, but once it gets going it's really good, and you're introduced to other characters and events that have been seen/referenced in the live action series.

I read that it's not essential viewing to enjoy Ahsoka, but I'd imagine it will make more sense if you've already seen it, and ppl being excited about other ppl turning up in Mandalorian etc

I read the original Thrawn trilogy many years ago, and liked Thrawn in Rebels.
