I went through vimtutor multiple times, until the basics stuck enough to allow me to (mostly) work without constantly looking at a cheat sheet. I used the VSCode vim extension too, which I believe eased me into it since I was already comfortable with VSCode. I know the extensions are limited compared to straight vim, but IMO at a certain point you get diminishing returns with time spent learning your tools. Personally for me, getting proficient in normal, insert & visual mode was most worth it; I'm sure I'd benefit from learning how to do crazy macros, but didn't see a need to go beyond that.
