LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
Just be aware that the marker based folding can be annoying to collaborators if you are working on documents with other authors. With a plugin like FastFold [0] you should be able to have fast folding with the expr foldtype.

How can I get over the beginner's hump and move around faster?
If you don't get great results, try changing 'foldmethod' (syntax is usually best but indent often works well). If vim doesn't have syntax support for your language, find a plugin that offers it. Even better if it defines 'foldtext' so your methods collapse down into an easy to read outline. I use vim-ficklefold to manage folds and FastFold to prevent syntax folds from making vim slow.

Code randomly folded when editing code
I have have the same problem. I found this plugin FastFold that seems to be what we are looking for but I haven't had the chance to test it yet. The general idea is to stop autofolding under most circumstances except when it makes sense.

Setting filetype is causing slow down while relocating lines
Because in this case the way this plugin works causes folds to recomputed. Fold methods syntax and expr are slow, cause those are written in Vim script instead directly in C. Plugin FastFold lets you change this behaviour and update folds only on demand.

What's your go-to for folding?
Some of those rules can be quite heavy on large files, so FastFold really helps here. It also prevents uncontrolled folds opening when editing, so just added bonus. Another plus are temporary manual folds.

Moving list items up and down?
I like this plugin: https://github.com/matze/vim-move. It can move lines in visual mode and normal mode as well as properly indenting.

Small drama: The nicest vim user takes it personal offence when another user shares constructive criticism about vim plugins' language.
Vim is a decades old text editor that has become a tool for power users thanks to Vimscript, a language dedicated to writing Vim plugins (here's a small example, not mine). In the last few years, a project called Neovim has started re-writing Vim and adding support for writing plugins with Lua, which was already popular in game modding like Gmod or TBOI. This has led many users to reconsider the basis of both Vimscript and Lua and others to feel there's an (inexistent) grudge between the two developer teams.
