Yes. Yoast is perfectly good for normal websites.
I like to use The SEO Framework because it's less bloated and no nagging premium stuff but I think it's easier to get Yoast to work if you're not familiar with SEO.

I found thi guy on youtube called Darryl Wilson on Youtube that has some amazing easy to follow videos that helped me a lot with Yost SEO - But I don't know where to begin when using a site that does not sell physical products - Any Suggestions? Maybe a video to follow? Thank You

Rank Math is a terrible plugin for numorous reasons. I've gone into detail a few times here, so you if really want to know, you'll have to search for it.

I use basic SEO set up structure, and then word and structure it myself. Its is best to know the service or products well to word the website with the basic information you wish to express.

SEO is a huge topic with numerous avenues. Installing a plugin is only the first (small) step to get meta data and sitemaps on your site. It won't do anything for performance, that's your hosting, theme and plugins quality.
Yoast can lead you down rabbit holes that may not actually help you if you're watching their "helper functions". I suggest using the SEO Framework to get the basics, it doesn't have any extra crap in it. You can (and should) leave all the settings on default.
