I am a solo staker and its been a blast learning about PoS and participating in the community. Right now you can earn ~7.8% rewards if you lock up your eth on your own validator. Once EIP1559 goes live (July) and the full transition to PoS merge around the end of the year there are some folks on the ETH research team who see rewards conservatievly going to ~25% [1]

What does the process for staking actually look like? I remember setting up lightning a bunch of years ago and ended up losing some fractions of BTC by messing things up along the way.

Is there something foolproof for staking right now, or is it a lot of "git clone this repo, copy this address to a config file" etc.

Here is a easy wizard for staking eth2 https://launchpad.ethereum.org/en/

How do the rewards APR change with the more validators there are?

The staking base rewards will go down as more stakers stake eth, however, after the merge to PoS (End of year target) fee revenue will be awarded to stakers in addition to the primary staking rewards.
