Comment on Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?

I don’t know much about CasaOS, but presumably you have the ability to stop your containers and access the filesystem to copy their config and mapped volumes elsewhere?
Yes absolutely, they provide a nice filebrowser which can also be mounted as a samba share (which they setup during install), in case one doesn’t want to use the terminal for everything.
As far as networking, from what I could see the only real change casaos was doing was mapping its dashboard to port 80, but not much more. Is there anything more I should be aware in general?
When self-hosting, the more you know about how things actually work, the easier it is to fix when something is acting up, and the easier it is to make known good backups and restore them.
Exactly, I feel I am at the point where I got my hands dirty enough that I can dive deeper into knowing things, not necessarily immediately, but step-by-step.

It depends on how you have things set up. If you’re just doing normal docker compose networking with port forwards then there shouldn’t be much to change, but if you’re doing anything more advanced like macvlan then you might have to set up taps on the host to be able to communicate with the container (not sure if CasaOS handles that automatically).

Don’t really know what some of these things are, which also means I haven’t encountered them (yet), if I will I’ll make sure to read more about it. To be honest, for now I’m just doing normal compose, everything behind tailscale. At one point I’ll need something like caddy for a reverse proxy to help with sharing services with a couple of family members, but always behind tailscale, no public exposure.
