What's the bare minimum of knowledge required before switching to a window manager ?
Try EndeavourOS i3wm edition. Why am I recommending it? Because it is exactly what u are looking for. You can leave all the tension of configuration keybindings to it, it comes pre configured and you can focus on learning i3wm and getting comfortable with it instead of opening terminal and fixing your OS every second. I still uses it and my own personal config over it since I became good with it I wrote my own config. My i3wm working desktop https://github.com/harshalrathore/my-i3-config

Any good i3 configs?
I started with i3 on ArcoLinux and customized my config with the base config shipped with ArcoLinux-i3. I'd recommend taking that and reading the documentation to start with. As start menu (it's more an application launcher in window managers) you can use dmenu or rofi for example. For desktop background people usually use feh, there should be an example in the config above.

How to setup pywal with vifm
The easy way is not a technical description. Correct does not imply easy. I run Pywal with Variety using the relevant section from the default ArcoLinux config. You might get some ideas from this.
