How to Make Emacs Look Cooler with Simple Customization
https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

Is it worth renouncing evil and becoming a good person?
I asked this same question a year and half ago and since that post I started reading Mastering Emacs by Mickey Petersen which was really helpful, I used Chemacs to keep my evil config around in case I give up. But I ended up dropping that config and I realized I wasn't really into modal editing. It took me one month to get used to my new config but that was worth it, everything in Emacs became consistent.

Starting fresh?
Perhaps the biggest game changer in my new init file is chemacs2. This allows one to choose one among many possible ".emacs.d" directories to use for the emacs that is being invoked.

Has the behavior of the %? escape in capture templates changed?
Well, this is impossible to test if you don't say on what version of Emacs you're experiencing this. You could test if it is your configuration by using the lovely with-emacs script to sandbox.

A Late Night Rant About Emacs
FWIW, I would generally recommend using with-emacs.sh rather than chemacs2, because it's much simpler to use: https://github.com/alphapapa/with-emacs.sh

What happened to org-superstar-mode?
Whenever you encounter weird behavior, you should try to reproduce it in a clean Emacs config. This script makes that easy: https://github.com/alphapapa/with-emacs.sh

Emacs finally got a command line switch to set user-emacs-directory
Wow, finally! And just when I've gotten the bugs ironed out of with-emacs.sh and makem.sh related to Emacs 28's changes. Well, pre-29 versions will still be around for a long time, so with-emacs.sh will remain useful, but it will be nice to have support for this integrated into Emacs.
-
Starting fresh?
Sure, but you don't have to throw away your old, comfortable, known-good config to try a new one. Use with-emacs.sh to run as many Emacs configs as you like.

What is your Emacs window/frame usage stye?
And about 20 minutes later (native comp with full AOT takes a while), I could just run emacs-28.0.60 (or with my script, with-emacs.sh -e emacs-28.0.60 -d ~/src/emacs/configs/ap.el).
What are some alternatives?
