I am surprised that vi is often available, but not vim. It’s really annoying on many RHEL based distros, because I am so used to typing vim. Otherwise there is just git I deem essential.
There is not really anything to learn. It is just lacking some useful features and shortcuts which make it slower to use. It’s still much better than nothing.
Usually my biggest issue is that I am so used to write vim over vi. At least for small edits.

Definitely not limited to RHEL!
Yeah, at least some distros have VIM tiny or whatever it’s called so my muscle memory benefits me.
Most distros I mess with have busybox installed, which as vi in it, but yeah sudo apt install vim is one of the first commands I run.
Solution - learn using vi. You already did most of the work by learmjng vim.
