Advice on config hacking / yak shaving / bikeshedding
That said, I found that setting up evil wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you want to see how simple it can be, you can take a look at the pull request I linked in the original post. I can also recommend taking a look at this config for another example of how setting it up can actually be very simple: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

Basic customization to make emacs more modern
I personally also maintain a lightweight config with better defaults, aimed at new Emacs users, perhaps it could help you too: https://github.com/ianyepan/yay-evil-emacs

How do I turn my customized Emacs into itβs own distribution like Spacemacs Or Doom
I suggest you look at other publically shared configs and "distributions". E.g. yay-evil-emacs is one such "distribution", and is different from the author's personal config.

Where can I learn about emacs.init?
If you feel lost in basic customization of Emacs, perhaps my project yay-evil could help. It's fairly simple to follow (if I may say so myself) and has over 270 stars -- so at least quite a few beginners have found it useful.
-
Where to start with init.el
This is not a video styled tutorial, but I actively maintain a yay-evil framework aimed at beginners to help them build their own vanilla config. Feel free to give it a try! https://github.com/ianpan870102/yay-evil-emacs

Are there any minimal evil distributions?
I'd check out Yay-Evil and Corgi.

It looks like that package has an issue tracker here, if you wanted to raise one: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection/issues

What should I do on my Corne keymap to make Emacs easier?
Honestly, I've yet to find a plugin that I use that isn't covered by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection. I love emacs, but I can't stand the chords.

How usable is Emacs with its default keybindings?
Evil and Evil Collection is the nuclear option.
-
Emacs setup for people who suffer from RSI
I still have phases where I experiment with modal editing, but I haven't messed with Evil-mode in a long time. I prefer Meow, in part because it doesn't invest everything on a single command layout. And the sample Dvorak layout meshes really well with Emacs bindings for special modes (like Dired and Ibuffer). So you don't have to install and configure something like Evil-collection just to use the same bindings everywhere.
-
Does it worth to use Emacs keybindings instead of doom's predefined?
The problem I have with evil in Emacs is that it is another layer on top of vinalla Emacs. Not many packages are designed with evil key bindings in mind. You need packages like https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection and and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-magit and https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-ediff to make Emacs feel more "evil". Distros like Doom and Spacemacs integrate these packages for you, but then you're even farther away from the default Emacs experience. I also find online help worse for evil bindings. To figure stuff out you often have to resort to looking at vim or neovim documentation. "Vanilla" Emacs is famously "self documenting" but last I checked evil couldn't provide useful help, within Emacs, in the same way.

Modal editing: Evil, Boon or Meow?
Evil does interfere with bindings in some modes, but https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection fixes a lot of these issues, both for built-in modes and a lot of popular third-party ones.

How to actually define key binds in Emacs?
Oh, and stick this in your use-package for general: ;; We want SPC as a leader key, probably. So do this. It just affects what ;; keybinds are overridden by the `override' keymap functionality that ;; `general' provides. ;; ;; https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection#making-spc-work-similarly-to-spacemacs ;; ;; NOTE: `evil-collection' binds over SPC in many packages. To use SPC as a ;; leader key with `general', first set these override states: (setq general-override-states '(insert emacs hybrid normal visual motion operator replace))

I'm switching to emacs from neovim
You might want to look into the evil-collection package.

Is my understanding of Vim and Emacs correct?
Evil mode is incredible, but it has real disadvantages in the Emacs context. It is another layer above Emacs, which makes Emacs different from its default self. E.g. most packages don't come with evil-mode key bindings. The popular Emacs packages are handled by https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection but, there is always going to be a layer of translation between how upstream describes its key bindings and how Evil binds them.
