Is it worth the extra year vs General peds if am not planning to go into fellowships? If am planning to go into fellowships, does that make the one extra year a waste?

You do Med/Peds in a practice that allows that. Traditionally though I’ve seen Med/Peds people stay in academics because that’s where the jobs are. If you plan to do a fellowship, yes the extra year is a waste in my opinion.
