100%. Going in I had no idea how all-consuming it would get.

Same here, although once I'd spent an absurd amount of money and then even more time, I finally, settled on a really good setup and haven't had the desire to change it. IRIS keyboard (https://keeb.io/products/iris-rev-4-keyboard-split-ergonomic...) with my own QMK keymap with 3 layers.

Oh wow that looks like what I'd want but it looks like they are selling a circuit board?

How do I get one that I can pull out of the box and be typing within 60 seconds?

Keeb.io does list prebuilt, where the store owner would build it for you. https://keeb.io/collections/pre-built-keyboards/products/iri...

Pro'bly the most popular pre-built keyboard along the same lines is the Moonlander. https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ The configuration user experience would be nicer with this.

It's not precisely the same, but the ZSA Moonlander has the same layout with stilts and a wrist rest so that you can position it how you feel best. The real winner is their Oryx firmware that makes reprogramming the keys on the board a breeze. It's the best investment I've made in my ergonomic health.

As a Moonlander owner who loves it, it's worth pointing out that most QMK-based boards (including the Moonlander itself with a third party firmware) can support the VIA system for similar easy GUI programming.
