What would really make my life easier? : When thinking about CI/CD, an editor extension e.g. to Visual Studio Code which has syntax and semantic checking for GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines YAML files. Even maybe a local debugging experience.
What is holding me back? : I presently don't have the particular skills to create an engine which can offer a language model to an editor. Same goes for debugging. And time - given enough time, I could work my way into almost everything.
While working with Azure DevOps pipelines I use this one for VS Code (marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...) it has a pretty decent autocomplete feature but I use it side by side with this reference page (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dev...) So when the extension fails to autocomplete something you need, you have the documentation handy to check for the correct values.
Sadly I don't have anything like this for GitHub Actions (I am just starting with actions).
Hope it helps!
