Emacs 29.1 Stuttery scrolling with (pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
Agreed. I've had success with beacon-mode for the same purpose. Making C-v and M-v scroll by half pages also helps.

Configuring emacs
I’d add that for 1) beacon is a good package. For 2), this may be an issue where you have multiple emacs configuration files. This is a serious problem. 3) be patient, and use the magic GC hack. To add to that, you should probably set the GC threshold to be high. 4) projectile? 5)emacs -nw.

Emacs bankruptcy
I've used emacs for about the same (started with microemacs in the 80s). I also had an extremely crufty init.el and recently decided to start over. I compared 19 emacs distributions (from this list and this r/emacs post). I looked at

Making Emacs more approachable
But, to be honest, I think it simply is not for everyone. But sure one thing is lacking (as far as I know): a metatutorial. Like a big "chart" telling people what can be done with Emacs (with a few examples), something like https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs for newcomers.

How Can I Start the Daunting Task of Making my Own Config?
For packages, Checking what people in the community commonly use, such as in https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs/ or checking packages for review in Doom Emacs helps a lot in selection. There are also great guides, such as Kristoffer Balintona's https://kristofferbalintona.me/categories/guides/. Personally, my bias in selecting packagges is towards the ones that integrate well with built-in Emacs functionalities. I could provide you a list if you want.
