For LSP support, I've tried to migrate to neovim's native LSP tools, but I still find COC to be a lot more intuitive. You should feel right at home with it since a lot of the plugins are similar to their VSCode counterpart.
If you'd like a really general and guided tour of VIM, I'd recommend picking up Practial Vim[2] It really helped me understand the workflow a bit more. Approaching VIM with the mindset of another editor wont give you all the benefits of using VIM. Though, if the workflow doesn't click, then that's not a big deal. You can always go back to VSCode.

I use coc-nvim [0] for my development environment and love it. The VS Code plugin is a great start to get used to vim movement, but eventually you'll run into some limitations that end up being slightly annoying (albeit this was a few years back and those might not exist anymore!).
Most of my development is in TypeScript, which has a pretty good language server, so I don't feel like I'm really missing out on any of the "IDE" features that I get in VSCode. I am not a "pure vim" zealot, so I have a decent amount of plugins to bring my environment closer to an "IDE" than "just vim" (eg. NerdTree, fugitive, surround, sneak).
I haven't really touched my dotfiles in a year or two outside a few custom keybinds for new workflows I find myself repeating.
Getting good at whatever editor you choose to use for your daily development is a good investment. If you're going to choose one, vim is probably a decent choice for how long it's stayed around.
