Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about scrum will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 8 years of working with rugby has actually taught me.
The most common trap is spending too long on research instead of doing.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to building one real thing instead of more tutorials. After that, injury rate dropped to zero after fixing form.
The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with scrum.
I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes.
**Most likely culprit:** ignoring nutrition. This accounts for roughly 63% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. rugby has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
