Trouble with the init.el file using org
I personally prefer to always specify the tangle destination specifically. Normally I set a global tangle destination for the whole file, where the majority (or all) of the blocks should be written, by having something like this at the top of the Org file (this is from my old Emacs init.org file):

Long-Time Emacs User Looking to Level-Up (note-taking for classes)
I was also an Emacs user for a very long time, and only started using Org mode (relatively) recently. I can heartily recommend it - it has become my almost exclusive use of Emacs. I have a few pointers to the resources that helped me get started in the Org section of my old config file at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#org-mode. You can also see there a good selection of configuration options and packages that I found useful.

Can we run package-install without running package-refresh-contents every time after restarting Emacs?
I used to have this code in my old Emacs config:

Starter Kit Recommendation: Spacemacs, Doom, or Centaur
I switched from a hand-maintained config to Doom last year, and I can highly recommend it. It's very well organized, the community is very friendly and it works great. If you are interested, my config is at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-doom/blob/master/doom.org.

Trouble with the init.el file using org
This sets the default for all the emacs-lisp blocks in the file, but you can still selectively write other blocks to different files, or not at all by specifying :tangle no. This way you can easily tangle multiple destination files from a single Org file. For an example, you can see my doom.org file, from which Doom's init.el, config.el and packages.el are all tangled.

Is there a way to create a beautiful presentation from Emacs?
In my config I have a hook I can call after saving the .org file to automatically export it and update the open browser to the current slide. This makes the process of updating/viewing the presentation a lot smoother. You can find my config here: https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-doom/blob/master/doom.org#revealjs-presentations

Long-Time Emacs User Looking to Level-Up (note-taking for classes)
Note that I said my "old config". A few months ago. I decided to try Doom Emacs. Over a couple of days, I ported most of the important bits of my decades-old, hand-maintained config, and in the process realized I could get rid of a lot of scaffolding (like the whole package-management bits in your config) by virtue of Doom's existing mechanisms, and also I could omit a lot of the configuration because Doom includes decent defaults for many things. I have not regretted moving to Doom. You can find my new config at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-doom/blob/master/doom.org.

Problem requiring ox- packages in org-export-backends
If you use use-package, it works well to define the package to be loaded :after org. I have lots of examples in my old emacs config, for example: (use-package ox-hugo :defer 3 :after org :custom (org-hugo-use-code-for-kbd t)) I now use Doom Emacs, but the same technique can be used with use-package!. For example, from my Doom Config: (use-package! ox-leanpub :after org :config (require 'ox-leanpub-markdown) (org-leanpub-book-setup-menu-markdown)) HTH
