these are random search results that may or may not be authoritative, but they should be a good start.

How do I change the Vim settings inside of Doom Emacs?
Doom uses Evil-mode for vim emulation. https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide is a good guide for translating between vim concepts and Emacs.

Intro to Evil for non-Vim users? Beyond evil-tutor
I'm not aware of a guide specifically for non-vim users, but pretty much any vim guide will be helpful - it's just best to avoid parts on vimscript, as evil isn't configured using that. Even though it introduces itself as a guide for Vim users, I still think https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide is worth a read. As for packages which complement evil, most are named with evil as a prefix, so you can browse melpa with that in mind. One exception that comes to mind is lispyville, which provides an evil approach for editing s-expressions. evil-cleverparens is also worth a look. Feel free to ask any questions on the evil issues page too!

About to declare Emacs bankruptcy. Any advice for cool or new packages, defaults, or ideas I should use before I start building my init.el? Also interested in guides to using evil.
Evil is a complex machinery build by vim nostalgic refugees, so familiarity with Vim's modal editing model is still recommended. I like this, even if it's not a tutorial: https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide

How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
I'd recommend reading noctuid's evil guide, particularly the link to the spacemacs keymap guide and the mention of the commentary on evil-core.el
-
Is it worth renouncing evil and becoming a good person?
It’s probably worth understanding what evil is doing so you can make your own key bindings for packages you find. I personally don’t think evil is obscuring things for me because I’ve gotten pretty good at using the introspection features of emacs to look at what everything is doing. The guide from noctuid was a good reference when I read it https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide.

Consistent Emacs Keybindings
Set aside a little bit of time to learn properly how Emacs and evil-mode work together. Not sure if you've seen it, but here's an excellent guide for transitioning from Vim to Emacs with evil-mode. It's by the author/maintainer of general.el.
-
Is there a way to present a warning message when a key combination is redefined? So I have some kind of heads up that a conflict occured?
A bit unrelated to your question, but if you are having trouble with keybindings I really recommend this read. Also, if you use evil-mode, reading evil-guide is really worth it as well, to understand how to configure things correctly.

Is there a package to use Vimscript in evil-mode?
This should make the porting process easier https://github.com/noctuid/evil-guide

Question for Meow users
I don't use Meow, so this may be wildly off the mark (no pun) here. But I use and really like expand-region for selection and marking. With modal editing, I imagine it would be extremely fast and intuitive.

ts-movement: a package to navigate the tree-sitter syntax tree (supports multiple-cursors)
I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

What packages do I need to for the best elisp editing environment?
Paredit, Speed-of-thought lisp, Helm, perhaps Lispy but I am not using it myself. I found expand-region to work really well when writing and modifying elisp. lisp-extra-font-lock if you want some more blink (and font-lock-studio). Helpful is very good to have instead of built-in help, it displays the source code by default as well as symbol properties. It is a very informative learning experience to see how built-in stuff is implemented. I am quite lazy to press extra in built-in help to see the source code, but with Helpful, you get it auto in the same window, whicih is great for learning. Seeing symbol properties is sometimes a time saver so you don't have to M-: and type an Elisp function to see the symbol properties when debugging. Learn Edebug, it is very useful built-in application for Emacs Lisp development.

vanish.el: hide parts of a buffer
Exactly. Consider you have point in a table definition. You can programmatically find which org element you are in, at least for org-mode. Or in a defun for elisp-mode, a sentence or paragraf in plain text and so on. You could just press a shortcut, and based on major-mode you could find boundaries of the element and put it in hidden-list. It would be really fast to work that way. I don't know if it already exists in some package. Or you could go for somewhat easier version, and just check if a region is active, and if it is, hide region, and if not, hide current line, or based on mode, hide element at point. That way we can easily expand/contract region with er/expand-region and press a key to temporary hide/unhide it. It is not difficult to write a function to do that based on text properties. Thing-at-point might be useful here too.

Why not use Evil in 2022?
https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el is your friend. I use the built-in equivalent of it in IntelliJ all the time. it's a bit like a vi text objects in the simplest possible way.

Paredit Mnemonics for Slurping and Barfing Lisp Symbolic Expressions
Thanks, I will give paredit a shot.
I'm a regular emacs user, but I normally use expand-region[1] and cut/paste to edit lisp code. Expand-region usually knows what I want to move around after just one or two calls, only requires one key binding, and has visual feedback. And it works great in every language I have used.

Sharing my first emacs extension: csharpto.el
One thing that I always missed is the ability to select a whole function in C#, but I thought I just didn't know the right package or it was something trivial to do ad-hoc. Surprisingly, up to these days I still couldn't find anything. I bumped into the expand-region package at some point, which is awesome, but still something was missing. After going through the Emacs Lisp Intro tutorial, I learned a bit how to search things in a buffer, and I was also editing csharp files every day, so I decided to try to implement the functions myself. Fast forward some weeks, here I am, with a smile on my face :)

Is there a way to highlight the content inside parenthesis like Kate does?
The package for growing the selection is the excellent expand-region by Magnar Sveen

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.

meow - Yet another modal editing on Emacs / 猫态编辑
avy - Jump to things in Emacs tree-style
.emacs.d - My current Emacs setup.

use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
easy-kill - Kill & Mark Things Easily in Emacs
transient - Transient commands
