I did a career in vanilla before launching into GWX and it's not so bad. The game won all those awards for a reason. The main annoyances I remember were the incessant air attacks. A lot of the mods are eye candy which is not so interesting for me. recommend playing through the training missions in any case as the learning curve is very steep (especially when to use absolute versus relative bearings).

If you have all the mods installed correctly the crashes are just a minor annoyance, but they never go away completely. Save to a new file name every time something interesting is about to happen. i get more crashes because I'm running the game using Wine under Linux and the stability seems to come and go as the linux kernel and wine get updated. The new pipewire linux audio system has definitely been a backward step!
It's a good idea to go for OneAlex GWX as he has done all the hard work installing lots of mods for you and there's minimal messing about. If you do it yourself you will probably mess up and only find out part way through your career. The main gripe with GWX is the "laser guided" escorts which all suddenly attack you when you hit your first target.

I'm cuirrently running NYGM because my laptop can't handle the graphics for the latest mod compilations and the escort behaviour is a lot better. i think that's down to better sensor parameters.
