I gave up trying to learn Emacs the “right way” and went from Neovim to Doom Emacs and was shocked at how quickly I became more productive than I was with Neovim

I've been using Doom Emacs for a while now and never once required "support chat". What is the "nonfree client" you refer to? Where would I access it if I needed it?
If you are on a Mac, make sure to map Caps Lock to Control and Command to Meta. Otherwise I agree most key combinations are painful.
I’m on GNU with X11, and my Caps Lock key is already mapped to Escape when tapped and Super when held, so I don’t have space for another Control unless I make holding Tab, Enter, \ or something be it.
(Not to mention that installing evil in vanilla Emacs requires too much hassle, including first manually adding melpa as a package repo — which drove me to spend a lot of time trying to make do with viper mode — and later choosing yet another package to be able to redo, unless you use the unreleased Emacs 28. That pain is probably my fault for giving up on Doom because its support chat requires a nonfree client, and for not trying spacemacs yet.)
