Isn't it dead? I see only one post (other than this one) from the last month

It doesn't seem that dead to me. Just not enough people posting apparently.

Not a bad point. At least the rename if that's over? Maybe the community intro and guide can be merged?

The Breville Bambino (Plus) with a nice grinder is basically an impossible value-to-money ratio to beat. Also remember to factor in a scale that's accurate to 0.1g, a cheap WDT tool with thin needles (i.e. 0.35mm), and a dosing funnel to make the WDT not messy. If your budget is limited then you can skip the WDT tool I guess.

I wouldn't go for the Barista Express/Pro because the built in grinder is not very good. The "impress" version of the Barista Express could still be worth it if you're not looking to make espresso a hobby and just want something easy that will make tasty drinks. I'd recommend joining the Espresso Afficianado's discord server, which is where a lot of the /r/espresso long-stays moved to after the reddit API stuff. There's a channel for beginners that can help you get started.

No experience myself, but I've read a lot of great things about Breville.

Maybe, but could also be in the side panel? But one pp is better than three pp.
