I dont think the learning curve is that bad TBH.
But a digital scale that goes to .1 grams is definitely necessary!
This is the first espresso machine I've ever had, and I love it. I'm just a normal person who likes coffee - I definitely don't have a refined coffee palate, and I haven't tested a bunch of other machines, but I can say that the cappuccinos that I make for my wife and myself every morning taste just as good as (if not better than) what we've gotten at nice restaurants or fancy coffee shops.
If this is your first espresso machine, I don't think you can go wrong. Sure, you can probably get some "better" equipment if you get a separate grinder and espresso machine. But unless you are an absolute coffee connoisseur, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.
Also the blue color on the Barista Pro looks really nice.
I honestly believe the Bambino Plus would be the best bang for your buck if you already have a standalone grinder.

If it's too dark just add more creamer or milk.
I've seen these machines for $500 or under (when on clearance) in at least 2 or 3 Marshalls and Home Goods stores. There are 1,204 Marshalls stores and 923 Home goods in the United States as of March 06, 2024.
This post will probably get TD to oblivion but 36% price difference still makes it worthwhile to mention.
I suggest to experiment with different brands of coffee like Passalacqua, Segafredo, Danesi, Mauro, Illy...
It must be luck of the draw. I just got off the phone with Breville customer support. She placed the order for the barista pro and the barista tool kit and emailed me the links to provide the payment for each, the toolkit was free-ish at $4.99 shipping & handling + 0.37 tax= $5.36 which I was fine with paying as opposed to the $200 for the kit otherwise. She said today is the last day they are honoring the tool kit. When I called all I told her was that I was in the process of ordering the Barista Pro and had it in my cart but wasn't sure how to add the complementary tool kit. Both orders are showing up on my Breville account now.
If you want to learn to use it there are countless YouTube videos. It takes me no time at all.
You can turn the grinder into an almost zero retention grinder with cheap parts from Etsy or Ali express.
I do recommend a bottomless porto filter, a dosing funnel to clip onto that portofilter, and a tamper/distributor combo.
And if you want the best espresso you've ever had, and I've put more than 60 varieties through this machine, the ONLY beans I use now are the Asia variety from Roger at OldVillageRoastery in Pennsylvania, where he roasts them by hand over an open flame.
