Another update, middle to end of October 2020
Came to the conslusion that Paint Tool Sai is good and comfortable to use, but customizing and setting up everything myself feels too much of a chore to me. The amount of customized brushes found online is a pleasant and great, but I tend to get lost in that pool. In other words: There are so many custom brushes I set up and wish to set up according to shared settings, that I'm struggling to find those I really intend to use and nost just add because I find them neat.
Joined a discord server for artists that's not extremely-active (which tends to scare me off) and that's solely for lgbtq+ people. Some of the staff are professional illustrators and graphic designers.

I looked into it, got myself a trial version, and... I'm really enjoying it, feeling more and more secure that this is the drawing software I wish to work with. This is mostly since it has various(!) brushes that emulate watercolors and markers (which I'm interested the most), official tutorials on the website, and a ton of 'decorative' brushes (some that add flowers, bubbles, feathers etc.).
It'll likely be on sale on Black Friday.
Just for myself, I'll also link this page of brush setting for coloring in avrious anime styles.
