I wrote this up recently when I was asked this question for switching from Kadence to Core blocks which gave me the broader idea around an official learn resource to help folks in general. Similar to switching to a Block Theme, I could see this being a useful lesson for folks, especially for anyone wanting to reduce the number of plugins on one's site or wanting the benefits of using core provided blocks (reliability, performance, backwards compat, etc).
