Jumping to y-scripting would be still really useful for any modder, as it really extends your options. Use Pedro's Linker to get highlights, it's easier to work with it. And don't be afraid to try, you can always use some help in my discord.
It was not easy for me to get into it too, I also had 0 experience at coding. But now I use it quite often; even with coding own fork, sometimes it's way better to use YS.
