Oh yeah!! Emacs is pretty much a black hole in terms of getting sucked into perfecting workflows (more than actually getting work done :D). A balance is required.. as I've learnt the hard way.
In general, if you can weather through the relatively steep learning curve - the benefits will grow exponentially. That has been my experience too.
As such - it is very easy to get started with an org-mode document. The learning curve is about getting very specific things done via customisation and understanding some archaic terminology like 'buffers' , 'yank' and so on.
Note: there are other starter-kits out there too. Prelude, Spacemacs, Doom-Emacs and so on. The philosophies are quite different.
This is amazing, thank you!! I've been neglecting Emacs, I know there's a ridiculous amount of untapped power and flexibility there.

I started with spacemacs and eventually just started over from scratch with ivy/which-key, but never got too much deeper into customization.
Org mode has been on my "to-try" list for altogether too many years - maybe it's finally time to break the damn seal :)
