If I had this door I'd sit in the hallway admiring it all day.
The glass does need repairing, and like you say, it's worth getting someone in who'll do a proper job to do that. So get the glass repaired (and cleaned, if you feel like you can't do that yourself - but could you not cut some supportive material to size, and brace one side while cleaning the other?), get the door draft proofed and put the rest off indefinitely.
