This is definitely the correct approach!

This will take a few minutes to implement and be significantly more stable and full-featured than any low/no-code solution.

Interesting! It would be awesome if anyone would want to expand on this advice (^_^)

How does one get started with Django Admin?

Would this tutorial be a good start? https://first-django-admin.readthedocs.io/

That seems reasonable, though it looks like it's a few years old by now.

You can use my project template, it comes with the admin enabled out of the box:

https://github.com/skorokithakis/django-project-template

You just install that, add the TODOs that it says, and then run it with "./manage.py migrate; ./manage.py createsuperuser; ./manage.py runserver", and that's about it.

I took a quick look at the README and this looks like a great resource. Docker-readiness is a nice touch. I should definitely find some time for trying this out. Thank you for the advice, Stavros!
I'm glad you like it!
I think the best one would simply be the Django 'Getting Started' guide, which covers admin.

Here is the relevant page:
