I'd expect there are easier invoicing packages, but you will likely need
much more. I don't know why there is no tutorial for GnuCash business
features (which only support accrual accounting) but each feature has an
example transaction. I don't use those features and agree, they seem
confusing.

The basics of GnuCash are fairly easy if you do the GnuCash Tutorial and
Concepts Guide as an introduction for Getting Started and Managing Personal
Finances (see
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-July/101901.html ). I
wouldn't enter data manually if it is available for download from a bank.
The import process is fairly easy which saves keying errors and allows
balance checks, errors that could cost you real money. Don't worry too much
about assigning the transactions you are not interested in to accounts. I
imagine this is a typical use of GnuCash for tax reporting, and it works
well.
