I think today's received wisdom is the opposite of the above. The
language is made of many layers of accreted crap and it's unnecessary,
even terrible, to try to understand it all. Rather it's better to just
use a good subset that leaves the crap behind.

No that's not required at all, at least in the sense of expecting the
working programmer to pick the idioms. It's sufficient to let the gurus
reach a consensus on best practices, then follow those. I.e. read this
and do what it says:
