Is it worth upgrading on TUI Dreamliner?

All in all, for me, I would upgrade every time. As a minimum to extra leg room, but if I can afford it the extra for Premium is well worth it. I did enjoy the frequent service, the smaller cabin with more privacy and the room I had for my legs. The extra legroom alone makes an upgrade worth it to us.

Keeping this in view, is it worth paying for extra legroom on Tui?

Worth it is entirely subjective. If the perks premium offer are important to you then yes, it's worth it. If all you want is the extra couple of inches of legroom that extra legroom seats give, then no it's not going to be.

Also, which seats are best on the Dreamliner? By far, the best seats to pick on United's Boeing 787 fleet (both the 787-8 and the 787-9) are seats 27A and 27L. Row 27 is the emergency exit row for the economy class cabin. This row is reserved as Economy Plus seating but the two “window” seats, A and L, are not considered Economy Plus seats.
