Best way to monitor disk space, RAM in remote servers and get alerts when full?
The Prometheus node_exporter can provide this information, doesn't require root. You could run it as a systemd user unit if you don't have root.

Best Course/Learning Path for mastering Prometheus and Grafana
I personally find it best to learn through experimentation. Start with reading a bit about Prometheus and Grafana through their docs, and then familiarise yourself with setting up a local Prometheus + Grafana instance either locally or with docker using docker-compose, along with something to generate /metrics endpoint for Prometheus to scrape from such as a custom Prometheus exporter in Python or using Node Exporter.

Linux Traffic Monitoring
Your best bet might be to fork node_exporter to get you more verbose socket stats: https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/blob/master/collector/sockstat_linux.go

Tool to monitor disk space
I use Grafana + Prometheus + Node Exporter.
- Is there a dashboard of sorts that can keep track of my linux-based computers and VMs to that I can easily see if any of them have updates or are running low on storage and et cetera?

Would SNMP present less of a load than SSH to get interface metrics from older cisco 3K series switches?
Crazy idea, can't NX devices run Docker? I wonder if the node_exporter would work.

Questions about Kubernetes
Kubernetes itself will not notify you, the way I've seen people do this, is to use something like kube-state-metrics or node_exporter, export that to Prometheus (or preferrably VictoriaMetrics because Prometheus is terrible IMO), and then setup alarms on that with alertmanager or equivalent, or just look at dashboards regularly with Grafana. Realistically I recommend only setting alerts on disk usage and application/database latency. CPU and memory utilization isn't a great metric to alert on a lot of the time.

How to log system usage: RAM, CPU, over a long time to detect which component is slowing down?
You may setup node exporter and collect metrics with prometheus for example. Its not quite "simple" way, but still you may find it useful.

Setting Up Starlink, SpaceX's Satellite Internet
It's not the official place where I'm working on this particular project, but if you have any notes or feedback you'd want to track/share through my internet-monitoring project, please feel free! Email is a bit tough, as the volumes right now mean I sometimes see a message quickly, other times after days or weeks :)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing node_exporter and internet-monitoring you can also consider the following projects:
cadvisor - Analyzes resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers.
smokeping_prober - Prometheus style smokeping
process-exporter - Prometheus exporter that mines /proc to report on selected processes
starlink-grpc-tools - Random scripts and other bits for interacting with the SpaceX Starlink user terminal hardware
Netdata - The open-source observability platform everyone needs
yet-another-cloudwatch-exporter - Prometheus exporter for AWS CloudWatch - Discovers services through AWS tags, gets CloudWatch metrics data and provides them as Prometheus metrics with AWS tags as labels
ping_exporter - Prometheus exporter for ICMP echo requests using https://github.com/digineo/go-ping
internet-pi - Raspberry Pi config for all things Internet.
fortigate_exporter - Prometheus exporter for Fortigate firewalls
vaping - vaping is a healthy alternative to SmokePing!
windows_exporter - Prometheus exporter for Windows machines
open-location-code - Open Location Code is a library to generate short codes, called "plus codes", that can be used as digital addresses where street addresses don't exist.
