Guide to Org Cite
YMMV, but I would personally recommend ebib + zotra as a Zotero replacment. I used Zotero and org-cite for a few months but then dropped Zotero and went for a pure Emacs solution. I'm very pleased with the results.

[Update] Zotra: using the power of Zotero in Emacs to manage citations and pdf files
Nice work! I switch from Zotero to ebib and have used the Zotero translation server for a long time. It's nice to see a dedicated package. It would be much appreciated if you could support ebib like https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib/issues/220 then I can remove the funs in my configs.

How do YOU write academic papers in org-mode?
Yes, I do use a citation manager. I've used Zotero with BibLatex export in the past, but now use ebib directly inside Emacs (and which directly reads and writes Bib(La)tex). Pandoc's use of CSL for citation styling is really convenient, and mostly works great. I wasn't so sure if I could format citations and references just as easily using org-export.

use-package :bind blocks the default keybindings for ebib-biblio. Without :bind they work (but I don't get my own ones with :bind). Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
This didn't work. I got a warning that the package ebib-biblio could not be found. I realised that this was because I was using the straight version of use-package, which (only?) looks for packages in the repos, when in this case ebib-biblio is distributes as part of ebib. This didn't produce any warnings:

I also use writeroom because I prefer its simplicity, but worth mentioning that olivetti is the more popular writing mode.

Don't have a specific tutorial except to suggest setting org-mode to use olivetti and a nice variable pitch font for writing prose. You might also like the poet theme.

Looking for evil-mode resources for non vim users emacs beginners
If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.
