Is being good with Adobe After Effects an easily learnable skill? For reference, the only thing I'm fairly good at is basic editing in Premiere Pro. And since I'm pretty comfortable with PP, I can pretty much follow any tutorial and get things done. For whatever reason, I just don't have the same confidence with After Effects. It looks and seems way too complicated for me!

AE is soo much fun. Once you get the hang of it, I promise you'll find it just as easy as you found PP. It's pretty much the same thing, just a few variations. Give yourself a few weeks to get over those little bumps and you'll be smooth sailing.

I’ve been using AE for 10+ years and I’m proficient but I still don’t know what I’m doing half the time. The initial learning curve is a bit steep but once you learn the basics, you can pretty much figure anything out with a little patience.

That is how I felt at first. I found it overwhelming. I did a Lynda tutorial to get an overview and then I just jumped and started working on project.

Yes, it's very easy. There is a YouTube tutorial for anything you want to do - if not exactly what you need, it will be adjacent enough to figure it out. I taught myself AE over a week while doing VFX for a short film.

I taught myself the basics in around a week - good enough to create a bunch of content for screens around a large entertainment venue, anyway. But it's now (counts on fingers) 19 years later and I'm still learning stuff. It's closer to Photoshop than Premiere, for what that's worth.
