On the verge of giving up learning Haskell because of the terrible tooling.

I am a Haskell newbie myself. Found nix flakes and https://github.com/srid/haskell-template really nice to start with (of course some learning curve is unavoidable).

If you wanna get started with Haskell on Nix, check out Sridhar Ratnakumar's Haskell template for Nix. You can easily clone the repo and move your Haskell code into it, especially if you're still a novice (as you likely won't be dealing with a HUGE codebase).
haskell-flake: A `flake-parts` Nix module for Haskell development.

I'd say that's up to you. haskell-template did recently switch to this; you can see the changes in this PR, which is all limited to flake.nix.

I think you should use ghcup because Nix has a higher learning curve ... BUT if you ever want to try out Nix, there is https://github.com/srid/haskell-template which sets everything up for you so that things "just work" in VSCode.

reflex - Interactive programs without callbacks or side-effects. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) uses composable events and time-varying values to describe interactive systems as pure functions. Just like other pure functional code, functional reactive code is easier to get right on the first try, maintain, and reuse.
