I admin a small part of our Google cloud part time and I feel I absolutely have no time and no idea how to drill deeper than clickOps. Knowing where is everything and the general risks of toggling a switch are already nerve breaking. Sometimes I wish I could learn everything from scratch. I wish I could join an on prem team to learn all those small details slowly and painfully.

Learning "from the middle" of a tech stack outwards is the default case for everyone, so don't be so hard on yourself. There is no "from scratch", never was even in the Bombe days, just a question of how many abstraction layers you want to tackle. Give yourself time to learn and plenty of room to fail and try again, and "all those small details" will ingrain themselves into you as second nature.
