Personally I learned with this video series:
https://www.udemy.com/course/vim-commands-cheat-sheet/
But it's not free (I got it in some cheap bundle some years ago). Anyway it's great for a start, not too in depth but it also teaches to use the :help.
You can learn stuff from tips found anywhere but you need some good foundation or it will be sparse knowledge that you can't glue in your brain. The manual for me is better to refine knowledge of individual topics, rather than a starter, at least it hasn't been for me, but then it is invaluable to learn all the dark corners.

Yes tmux. If you need to make edits to (or reference) multiple files, use the CLI to figure it out in one tmux window (grep is your friend) and then open buffers in vim with :e filename (or open them all at once with "vim file1 file2 file3". Then you switch between them with :b <tab> <enter>(or read about how to use :b since thats a little hacky). Once you can navigate a set of files in vim then learn how to move the cursor, yank effectively and use registers.
I got lots of mileage out of this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/vim-commands-cheat-sheet/

You have lot to learn my young padwan! :)
BTW, I learned Vim within 2 days with this great course on Udemy - https://www.udemy.com/course/vim-commands-cheat-sheet/
It covers lots of Advanced topics too. This iw thing was part of the basic syllabus. The only thing it lacks is Advanced configuration & plugins for Vim. Other things like - Windows, Editing, Splits, Terminals, etc are covered in depth.
You might want to take a look.

You need to understand how to get syntax highlighting and auto-indent to do what you want. The rest is just standard vim, which is great for programming but doesn't involve "setting up". Instead it involves understand how to edit text efficiently.
This is an excellent course (and you could just follow the order of the topics and look them up if you don't want to buy it):

There's a course called Vim masterclass on udemy.
https://www.udemy.com/course/vim-commands-cheat-sheet/.
I think it's way better than vimtutor. I suggest not to try learn from youtube. I ended wasting a lot of time learning nothing bout vim there.
But that's course doesn't cover too much about vim customisation, it's the only downside.
It covers almost everything about vim but not much customisation.
Since you are programmer, you might be familiar with vimscript. I do most of my programming customisation with vimscript. Haven't found a course for vimscript yet. I just learnt by googling and from stackoverflow.
Don't worry about the learning curve. It's way easier than people are saying.
GoodLuck Hope You succeed.
