Granted, Liebestraum is much easier than the Scherzo. 1 year later, I am a few weeks away from starting it because my teacher has decided I am ready to attempt it. I decided not to because I wanted to do it right, and not spoil the piece for myself. When I first got back into piano, I asked a similar question about Liebestraum no 3.
You could also potentially injure yourself if you don't use the proper technique. You will most likely get frustrated with it. If you were to try playing it at your current level, it would not sound anything like the recordings. If you want to eventually play the Scherzos, I would suggest you start with some easier Chopin pieces, so you get used to his style and techniques. The pieces you listed are more or less beginner pieces, probably ranging from henle level 2-4. They all present lots of technical and musical difficulties. All four of the scherzos are quite difficult. If you’d like I can also record my playing of Nuvole Bianche since that’s the piece I just finished learning so you can see(hear) my playing Obviously that isn’t the only piece I want to learn, but I think you guys would laugh at me for thinking learning pieces like Prelude in C sharp Minor by Rach or something. And if mot, I was hoping you guys could recommend me some pieces to slowly build up to the scherzo. I was wondering if with that list I could play Scherzo No.2, but from what I’ve seen of it I doubt it, so I was wondering what you guys think. I think I might know a couple other pieces, but don’t remember atm. I can play pieces like Nuvole Bianche, 1st Mvmt of Moonlight Sonata, entirety of Für Elise, and Minuet in G Major(though I doubt this piece even matters considering how simple it is), and I’m also learning Dorado by David Lanz right now.
