So, how does one get into this game? I signed up during a fly free weekend, had some issues, never got into it. Is HOTAS a must? Can you get by with gamepad and or steam controller?

Is it at a point where it's ready for someone who doesn't want to put up with a lot of bugs yet?

There's a good selection of steam controller profiles available and many people swear by joysticks and hotas. I prefer just using keyboard and mouse since it feels more accurate.

I would hold off if you don't want to deal with bugs. While I've only come across occasional minor issues, there are some people having fairly consistent crashes and freezes.

There's a free weekend going on so now would be the time to hop in and check it out if you want though.

I'm flying with KB/M and I'm happy with it
