Exactly. The points, plural, are:

1) Trump pays hush money;
2) Trump and his lawyer lie about it;
3) This exposes, again, the hypocrisy of the religious-right leaders in their continued support that Trump can’t do anything wrong;
4) Trump can’t keep a legal team because he’s unhinged;
5) Trump has other civil suits against him, even more serious;
6) As Trump has already shown he’s an intractable liar, in these other suits a sane judge or jury will immediately doubt him;
7) And we haven’t even gotten to Russia or the emoluments yet.

I think you missed a big one. Both Trump and Cohen are clearly guilty of campaign finance laws. That’s the timing. Trump didn’t want the story coming out right before the election. (Of course, that’s also why Daniels shook him down.) So at the very least it’s an unreported contribution to Trump’s campaign.Which is what ruined John Edwards.

And your (7) about Russia or the emoluments is probably much bigger.
