I am interested in jumping in. I’m concerned that new features, even if better, would make it hard to find up to date documentation and tutorials. Any recommendations?

Youtube has several people frantically creating tutorials for 2.8: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blender+2.8+tut...
'Too hard to learn' was a legitimate concern in the early days... even though the payoff is huge. Perhaps it still is some, but not more than most other 3d suites. The interface is so much discoverable, and has switchable key maps so that it's similar to other 3d apps.

I got started with a tutorial (on Udemy I think) that used a much older version and while it definitely took me longer I think I learned a lot more. I got to poke around and try things and make mistakes that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise.
