The subset of it you need to grok to setup metallb is in fact pretty basic

I actually do agree. I've setup MetalLB in my home lab and it was super simple. I've doing networking since the 90's though, both professionally and as a hobby where I operate my own AS for fun, so I can see how someone else could be intimidated.
