Honestly that was my experience with all of Emacs, not just evil. I tried Doom Emacs a while ago, and while Doom does a great job at abstracting a lot of that hackiness away, whenever I tried to configure something myself it just felt like the entire Emacs ecosystem is based on random hacked-together 10000 line elisp scripts with 3 GitHub stars which abuse some weird undocumented legacy parts of Emacs. Basically everything except a few famous big packages (eg. Org, Magit, etc.) felt very weird to use.
Kinda surprising considering how comprehensive the Neovim ecosystem feels compared to Emacs', despite it also being a very niche editor
