I tried to get into it several times but eventually came to the conclusion that it is, despite the unassuming name and the advertisement as a tool for personal finances probably more targeted at professional accountants or people who have some training in accounting, rather than just being a tool for tracking private finances in an intuitive way.

I don’t disagree with you, but I’d suggest that the accounting knowledge is pretty easy to pick up, and getting that under your belt will actually be incredibly valuable
Do you have any tips on where to start?
It was several years ago I’ve read it, but GNUCash’s documentation does actually start with some generic accounting knowledge, which I have found quite useful at the time.
