Advice on Door Rust

Hi all, so the only rust on my 95 4Runner is along the bottom of the doors where the seam seal is. I assume the drains were clogged over the years and caused separation of the seal. Now the issue is, I need to understand if this is something I can easily tackle myself or if I should go to a shop. The issue is I do plan on likely doing a full repaint within the next year possibly, so I dont want to pay for services twice since this would get repaired during my repaint. I guess my first question is, are my doors screwed? Is it even going to be possible to repair this? I was thinking that if I did it myself, I could remove the old rotted seal, sand everything down, use a rust inhibitor, and then lay down some fresh seam seal and then spray with a paint matched rattlecan. It wont be perfect but it can always be repainted when the truck gets done. Attaching some photos to get your thoughts. Note that this is the worst door (drivers), but 2 other doors have a similar issue just not as bad
