TLDR : Answer Summary
There are recommendations for using the Thai Visa Centre, which is mentioned multiple times as a reliable visa agency that offers airport VIP entry services in Phuket. However, it's noted that even with VIP services, the waiting time for checked luggage remains the same as for all passengers.

If you have checked in luggage, you will still have to wait the same time for your luggage as everyone else regardless of paying for vip entry
just saying waiting for luggage is same as everyone else. Some in the past thought vip entry ment they get their luggage quicker as well then complained about paying. Mentioned it just incase you were not aware.
Not an issue for most, as luggage usually doesn't take that long to come out and for most, waiting at the luggage belt is much less stressful than in front of immigration. You can even sit down if you want.
Yeah so? Waiting for luggage is much less stressful than immigration. Also, once you're past immigration, you have nothing to worry about. Even customs is a breeze as 95% of people can just walk through the green channel without having their luggage inspected.
I've never had issues with either - only once was I stopped at customs (technically it was my wife) but only due to an unusually large amount of luggage that we were carrying, well above the normal check-in limits (though with my frequent flyer status and being a personal friend of the check-in agent at the origin, it was fine).
Immigration I've not had an issue with either, but the OP might, hence the question. People are paying for VIP status for one of two reasons (or sometimes both):
1) to save time on entry into the country. Having to stand in a queue, possibly for up to 45 mins in close proximity to hundreds of strangers can be both nerve wracking and claustrophobia inducing. Those who aren't good on their feet might struggle.
2) because they have a not so stellar immigration history and the VIP pass ensures they'll be able to pass through immigration without incident.
