How to simply manage buffers?
I just took a look at centaur-tabs source code, it is not very difficult to write that functionality yourself. I have never used centaur-tabs, so no idea what tabsets and groups and whatnot they use really are, but look at this function:

Doom tabs error?
I have the same problem on multiple platforms with centaur tabs and found this igithub ssue with a workaround: https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs/issues/181

An implementation of simple, intuitive tabs in Emacs.
Out of curiosity, did you try centaur-tabs before making your own mode? It might have gotten you reasonably close to what you were after. Though I know from personal experience, that “close” might as well be light years sometimes… lol

Absolute minimum modeline
Centaur tabs can signal unsaved buffers and the buffer's major mode (as an icon). You can hide the modeline completely if that's all you need.

Tab-bar-mode and project.el integration?
Haven't tried this, but might be worth looking at Centaur-tabs https://github.com/ema2159/centaur-tabs

Compiling and running C/C++ files without makefiles
Honestly there's not much thinking behind my tabs usage. I use centaur tabs which groups relevant tabs together in a way I quite like.

I made emacs look like a better version of atom
Have you tried centaur-tabs? Seems like that would get you to full parity.

How to "touch file" in dired mode?
If you want to programmatically create files, write to them, etc, then read the fine manual, it comes with your Emacs, has index, search and web-like navigation. It is well worth your time investing in looking up the manual, both for Emacs and for Elisp. You access the manual via C-h i. Another good thing to learn how to use is Emacs built-in help. As a minimal basic, C-h f will display information about functions, and C-h v will display the documentation for variables. You can also see where things are declared, open the source code, etc. A good alternative to built-in help is Helpful, which I suggest installing and start using too.

Is doom emacs still actively maintained?
It tweaks Emacs GC. You can run M-x describe-variable while your cursor is at gc-cons-threshold to learn about it. If you opted-in for using "Vim bindings" (Evil mode), you can press K while in normal mode. Note that K doesn't run the describe- command in Doom, but it runs helpful-command from (https://github.com/Wilfred/helpful), which provides more context that describe- commands usually do.

Quickly learning some LISP basics for using emacs?
The packages helpful and elisp-demos are super useful because they enhance Emacs' built-in documentation.
-
Is the official GNU Emacs up to date?
You can try to actually use helpful for a while. There was also a package with examples, I don't remember the name, perhaps someone else knows which I mean, that shows usage of a function where available. I remember using it and found it very useful for a while when I was learning elisp more actively. I still use helpful sometimes.

Best emacs configs for Javascript and/or users who don't like to memorize keybindings?
Once you got the hang of keybindings, which-key is a helpful extension (aka package) to Emacs. At this stage, there are other helpful packages and keybindings.

Emacs terminology
Since you seem interested, have a look at elisp-demos , too. It works in tandem with helpful.
-
Good short documentation for CL functions (etc.) available?
Elisp Docs are fantastic they have documented everything while with CL most documentation is missing or only on the Web. With Emacs, one need to learn about C-h f (describe-function), C-h k (describe-key), helpful.el and elisp-demos and a new world opens. Terminology is always different, simple example: Microsoft terminology sounds like bullshit, to a Unix person.

What's the Best Way to Learn Emacs?
Your primary source of knowledge will be the manual and the built-in discoverability (describe-* functions, or helpful) and of course reading the code. I'm not a manual person myself, but Emacs is one of the examples where it is truly excellent and has answers for almost everything.
