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.

How an Uber-Geeky Text Mode in a 40-Year-Old Editor Saved My Novel
For footnote 4 https://www.tomheon.com/2019/04/10/how-an-uber-geeky-text-mode-in-a-40-year-old-editor-saved-my-novel/#fn:4, I was wondering if something like https://github.com/awth13/org-appear but for tags would provide a solution. You'd still have the :ignore: tags that ox-extra can work with, but you would be able to hide it from view somehow to minimize distraction from them.

Turn off font-lock under cursor?
You can use org-appear: https://github.com/awth13/org-appear
-
Is there a mode that lets you write and read text in rich text format?
setting org-hide-emphasis-markers to t will hide the markup org uses, so instead of seeing / italics / you only see italics. this makes it a bit hard to edit theses parts of the document, so i would recommend org-appear.
