Created My First Commercial Game Using love2d! The Boneyard - a Halloween Domino Deck-builder, Releasing This Friday!
Concratz on the game, Flux also has tweening it might do what you descibed above: https://github.com/rxi/flux

How much math and which exact topics are important to develop 2D games with Love2D?
Perhaps a bit off topic but certainly a useful library when trying to do some specific movement of objects: https://github.com/rxi/flux/

Visualization of flux.lua's curves
flux is a tweening library for Lua. It's great, but sometimes it's hard to guess what the curves will look like.

Tired of current language but scared to switch (sunken cost fallacy evaluation)
I find the libraries by rxi (like flux) are pretty great. How have you discovered yours? Searching GitHub, using love2d-awesome, love2d forums?

I just wanted to share with you a cool lighting effect I made for 2D drawings.
Yes it's blender! I just painted normal maps by hand. Red for right side and green for up- It's very quick to do if you master well volume. And the good things, is that it deduce the down, and left.. So it can do cool stuff! If you don't want to paint it, there is this cool software that can do it : https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

Is it possible to "procedurally" add shading (shadows and highlights) to my sprite, so when rotated, the shading doesn't just stay on the same side? (Godot 4)
If you need a tool to make normal maps (The tech behind the 2D lighting you desire) I recommend laigter: https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

AI generated normal maps: are we there yet?
I really like the normal maps this tool generates for 2D assets: https://azagaya.itch.io/laigter

Normal maps are a god send
There's also Laigter, which makes it incredibly easy to generate normal maps for textures. I've used it for wall and ground textures in the past to great effect. :)

A quick broken-down cart I made tonight. Hand-pixeled in Aseprite, normal maps and light animation created in SpriteIlluminator
However the march of time continues and searching around there now seems to be a free opensource alternative that you might want to investigate that got an EPIC MegaGrant: Laigter

What are some alternatives?
When comparing flux and laigter you can also consider the following projects:
ParrelSync - (Unity3D) Test multiplayer without building
awesome-monogame - A collection of interesting libraries/tools for Monogame based game projects
AwesomeBump - AwesomeBump is a free program written using Qt library designed to generate normal, height, specular or ambient occlusion textures from a single image. Since the image processing is done in 99% on GPU the program runs very fast and all the parameters can be changed in real time. AB was made to be a new alternative to known gimp plugin called Insane Bump.
Light-Reflective-Mirror - A relay transport for mirror.
DeepNormals - Code and Dataset from Deep Normal Estimation for Automatic Shading of Hand-Drawn Characters
