> Repeated and quick exposure to the relevant idioms supplied by my tooling seems to have helped

This sounds exactly like what we know about how children learn language. The recommendation now for adults focuses on a large portion of full immersion in content like tv/movies with no translation. We pick up on patterns and rules from repeated exposure. Maybe this will inform how we teach programming too. I had Copilot on learning Rust and it alternately felt distracting and like cheating so I turned it off, but I think I'll turn it back on based on your experience.
