Especially Learn how modern web development works
3. There is PnP Script editor webpart that can be installed, which works similarly as Script Editor in the classic sharepoint
4. Using Graph API and Azure AD to provied it with the correct permissions and then installing it on that specific site. This can be done via Global app catalog and then installed to that site, or a local app catalog

NicolasKheirallah With SPFX, do I need access to higher level permissions in order to deploy?
I am not at the farm level. I am at the site collection level.
In SP20XX, admins like me are called "Site Collection Admin" or "SCA". We are limited to what the site permissions allow. But to deploy solutions that require Farm level permissions is not available to us.
One of the workarounds I've used over the years is the Content Editor and Script Editor web parts. This allowed me to develop without these higher level permissions.
- SharePoint administrator is needed for the whole Online. I would recommend getting a dev enviroment to develop in and then sending the finish file to IT/DW Service Owner to deploy, if you can't get the correct permissions
