Back in 2017, I started working as a web developer with React JS. I'm aware of vanilla JS and JQuery but I never coded anything significant with those tools. JSX allowed me build a lot of stuff without actually understanding how the DOM works. Ultimately it depends on what you want to do with JavaScript - Node server? Front end Application? Electron Desktop App? You can come back to understanding DOM once you're more familiar with JavaScript.
