A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Very excited to have another YouTube juggernaut in the open source ring!

Wasn't brackey notorious for his tutorials having really awful software practices?

I'd argue for not stressing too much about practices when you are a beginner. Learning to code is hard enough already. At first, it's just important to start creating.

Software practices are important. But just get code working at all is, as a beginner, more important.

I don't really agree with that. If you teach people bad habits from the beginning they're going to be hard to unlearn. It's not difficult to say, don't put everything in the physics loop, use timers, instancing, and only have things active when you need them to be active.
