Does Samsung Knox add protection against remote attacks or is it a “gimmick”?
I’d say it’s a gimmick, Samsung likes to use nonstandard ways to achieve anything for no good reason. Non-standard boot, non-standard camera implementation, non-standard voLTE, non-standard partitions, non-standard work profile, and non-standard encryption that got absolutely fucked 3 years ago

Do you know if Samsung phones have isolated baseband modem like Pixels do? I currently have a Motorola phone (Debloated) and i wonder if it is a good idea to update to Samsung for the security reasons (not talking about the privacy side here). Motorola does not seem to have isolated baseband modem and it has Thinkshield, which is something like Knox but it is software, rather than hardware.
Samsung phones are not far away from Pixel phones, but you should ideally get an S series device.
Well if you ever manage to install a custom ROM onto your Samsung phone (if it supports it), I believe Knox gets disabled permanently (even if you reflash stock)
