Notes on Text Editing
I tried to re-learn from Vim to Helix but failed. No sure if this is a muscle memory problem or perhaps article is right about cons Kakoune-like approach for me. Even adapting with something https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim did not work. So if you like Helix it probably a good thing that you did not learn the vim at the time.

Even more hindsight on Vim, Helix and Kakoune
Not that they're inherently worse, just different - I'm perfectly happy with vim motions and relearning to type is pretty low on my list of priorities. Luckily there is a compatibility hack, not perfect but it's close enough: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim

Helix: Release 23.03 Highlights
I want to like Helix, I really, really want to. It's lean, fast, polished, purely console based so it fits my workflows perfectly... but the almost-like-vim-but-not-really key bindings are a deal breaker. I just can't make the switch.
If Helix were completely different in this regard, like Emacs is, I could handle--and I know because I use both vim and Emacs regularly pretty fluently. But Helix is way too close to the vim keybindings to discern it from a memory muscle perspective. I use vim keybindings everywhere else (zsh, all readline-based apps via a setting in ~/.inputrc, VSCode), so getting used to slight differences in just one editor is extremely hard because I can't just drop all other apps.
I recently tried this: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim which attempts to provide vim mappings to Helix. It's funny how the description in the page describes my progression almost 100%. And while it makes things slightly better, it's still not accurate enough to make this a non-issue.

Helix editor 23.03 released!
https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim somebody on the internet has you covered

The extensible vi layer for Emacs
There is this configuration: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim
This switches most keybinds to be vi-like.

Any fun ways to learn Emacs?
Using meow:https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others.
The muscle memory transfers well.

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Emacs from Scratch Part Two
You have to go further for ideal IMO.
Evil and evil-collection integrates pretty well, but Meow integrates perfectly and uses the action visible first approach.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
I think I'd rather hope for meow over Evil. It's close to Evil but embraces more of emacs' default bindings for calling commands.

Devil Mode for Emacs
There's also Meow[1], which I currently use. You have to configure it first to suit your keyboard layout, but there are pre-built configs [2]

Is it possible to make god-mode turn off automatically after a command?
I was thinking about this a little more and Meow has something known as keypad mode that basically lets you call key combinations then return to Normal mode. It behaves a lot like god-mode. I just tested it out and if you install Meow you can call keypad-mode from insert and then automatically return to insert mode.
What are some alternatives?
helix - A post-modern modal text editor.
god-mode - Minor mode for God-like command entering
zsh-vi-mode - 💻 A better and friendly vi(vim) mode plugin for ZSH.
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
