I'd say that you'd certainly need to buy your own tickets as there's no way Olympic Holidays are going to plan a 90 minute plane landing to ferry leaving connection. They won't have anyone standing around at Akandia on the offchance to buy them for you. Unless there are people who are scheduled to arrive on much earlier flights who have been booked on the 15:00 ferry, there also won't be anyone to meet you and transfer your baggage on Symi.
Will you make the ferry? Lets put it this way, travelling independently I'd not book these ferry tickets in advance! in practice of course you don't need to, it is never full at this point in its journey. Apart from plane punctuality, baggage reclaim is the main issue. If your bag is first on the belt, you'll do it, if it is last, you probably won't. There are significant road works in and around Rhodes Town, although they don't directly affect the route the taxi takes they can cause general traffic jams and mayhem.
