I have a keyboard with a similar arrangement, and I've still never quite gotten used to it. I make extensive use of the Mac's built-in text editing shortcuts, and chording them all gets very confusing.
I kept telling myself it would eventually click, but I found myself still making mistakes two weeks in.

I guess the main difference here is that I am working with Vim
and its shortcuts. Thanks to its modes and two leader keys I can
use every shortcut using only one modifier.
Only being restricted to usual system-wide shortcuts I think I also would have issues, at least without custom macros. For example I defined macros for Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab so I can switch browser tabs more comfortably, but I don't see that as much more than a crutch.
