Some UIs are inherently complex thus have a learning curve that can't be merely factored out with a redesign. Like DAW software and Photoshop/Gimp and 3D modeling software.
Though you yourself built a false dichotomy with a poorly-done "unskippable" tutorial. How about a well-done skippable one then?
Back when FLStudio was Fruity Loops, it had a cool modal-driven (skippable) tutorial for various features you could opt into in the respective component's "?" menu, like how to get started with the piano roll system or the fx system. And frankly the UI was already pretty intuitive, it's just not obvious where to start when you're a beginner.
Btw, unless it's a toy/trivial project or catastrophically dysfunctional, one does not merely redesign a UI. That's been the main driver of second-system effects I've seen in the wild.
