- Paredit-like features in non-lisp modes?

Good Emacs Packages
For working with delimiters, you might want to check out Smartparens or Puni. There are many other packages like these, but those are the two I know about.

Tree-sitter starter guide
I'm guessing the way forward here for navigation is to change Emacs' built-in sexp-navigation when treesitter is available? forward-sexp, backward-up-list, down-list, raise-sexp etc do a good job in lisp environments, and they can now work everywhere. Packages that build on these (like Puni will automatically gain treesitter-awareness.

What modal sexp editing mode should I switch to?
I have never used lispy, but I have used puni for a while now, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I am not sure that it's exactly what you're looking for since it takes a more limited approacg, but it has a lot of the same features: slurping, barfing, raising, splicing etc.

What packages do I need to for the best elisp editing environment?
For any Lisp you want paredit or any other structural editing package (I switched to puni recently because it’s more customizable and works with non-Lisp languages too). The first three days will suck hard because it’ll feel like the tools get in your way, but once you’re comfortable with it it’ll be the best thing ever.

paredit based on treesitter
Afaik puni uses only forward-sexp for navigating and manipulating sexps. So if you implement a forward-sexp-function that uses treesit.el it should work without any changes.

- use-package: does :defer t loads a package based on its autoloads?
-
Do people tend to misuse the :init keyword of use-package?
Yes. Most people seem to use use-package without really understanding what it's doing. I love use-package, but I never edit use-package declarations without macrostep (also (setq use-package-expand-minimally t)) to see what it expands to.
-
What packages do I need to for the best elisp editing environment?
Macrostep made me 10-20x faster at diving into, profiling, and debugging emacs lisp codebases.
-
Does the use-package ":bind" command bind the keys to the global key map if it doesn't contain the "map keyword?
Try macrostep to interactively expand these nested macros.
