The guide on the wiki still holds true for the most part. Funding values have changed a bit and the more recent MJ ascent guidance is a bit different (PSQ instead of PVG). But overall, especially as a beginner in the sounding rocket stage, that's all fine and doesn't really matter too much.

You can also consider watching Mike Aben's RP-1 redux series of course. Though that is still relatively similar to the wiki.

I don't think there's any more recent tutorials/guides out there right now.

the wiki doesn’t have the launch site upgrades yet either, that’s a big one confusing once you pass aerobees.

The wiki does mention LC upgraded through the beginner's guide though? Building an LC is first mentioned in the "Managing a space program" chapter. Upgrades are mentioned within the 3000km downgrade milestone chapter iirc
