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

How can I speed up my start up times?
Ideally the startup time could be 0.5 seconds. But in order to reach this goal, you need a bit knowledge of Emacs Lisp. You also need read the code of other distributions. https://github.com/redguardtoo/emacs.d

What are some alternatives?
When comparing evil-guide and emacs.d you can also consider the following projects:
expand-region.el - Emacs extension to increase selected region by semantic units.
flycheck-grammarly - Grammarly support for Flycheck
nano-emacs - GNU Emacs / N Λ N O - Emacs made simple
emacs-ng - A new approach to Emacs - Including TypeScript, Threading, Async I/O, and WebRender.
avy - Jump to things in Emacs tree-style
Elpy - Emacs Python Development Environment
olivetti - Emacs minor mode to automatically balance window margins
electric-operator - An emacs minor mode to automatically add spacing around operators
elegant-emacs - A very minimal but elegant emacs (I think)
aggressive-indent-mode - Emacs minor mode that keeps your code always indented. More reliable than electric-indent-mode.
use-package - A use-package declaration for simplifying your .emacs
smart-newline.el - The smart-newline.el provide a stress-less newline command for programmer.
