There are small bumps on the F and J keys so that you can feel when you are correctly on the home row.

Yes, but then you need to bring your hands back to the correct position, and you’re lifting it off the keyboard. Which means you will likely be fumbling till you feel the bumps correctly.

With Vim and Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl & Esc I never have to completely leave the home row.

Can't say I have ever needed to fumble to find them, my fingers just land on them.
