Resin printing is awesome, I just grabbed an Elegoo Saturn 3 on ebay used for $150 and the level of detail it can produce is incredible. One thing to always keep in mind is that the resin in its uncured state is highly toxic and you'll need gloves and a good respirator anytime you're in your printing space, which should vent outside somehow (a small grow tent and 4 inch fan will work well for this) You may also want to get a wash and cure station, but on a tighter budget you can get by with a mason jar full of alcohol and set parts out in the sun to cure for several hours.

Resin with lycheeslicer is incredibly simple, much less tinkering. Messy because you need to do the whole wash and cure thing, but the slicer has a "magic wand" button that never fails me. I leveled my Saturn once when I bought it, and haven't had to do any tinkering since.

But fdm and resin printing kinda have different purposes. I use fdm for functional stuff (plastic strong), and resin for dnd minis (resin pretty).

I don't have hands on experience but it seems mostly more straightforward yes. More steps in terms of like, washing and UV curing, and the resin is toxic (I hadn't heard of people using a full respirator for one but I assume ComradeRed knows what they're talking about), but less fiddling. And resin printers tend to be on the small side, so great for minifigs, or medium sized stuff if you pay a bit more, but not great for large objects (those take forever on FDM but are at least possible for cheap.)
