I've started using Helix occasionally as I stumbled across the editor when trying to customize vim for Rust.

Immediately, I fell in love with how (mostly) plug and play Helix is.

Over the next few months, I plan to use Helix more and more. If you have any useful tips on usage, customization or anything else I am all ears.

For basic usage (similar as vimtutor): hx --tutor

For the other stuff, as already said, the docs should be rather thorough, the wiki may also be a starting point

It's a bit annoying that the tutorial ends saying it's incomplete and there's more to learn, but doesn't give you any suggestions on what to learn next.
