QubesOS is to FOSS/OPSEC/UX as continental philosophy is to philosophy 🤭

Well said.
Impenetrable?
There's a few levels to it, I'll just list one.
It can read as a bunch of malarkey, or the slow burn of the medium is actually the message, which makes going through worth it.
Either interpretation is valid 🙃
I'm unlikely to recommend Qubes to learn about opsec just as i'm unlikely to recommend that kind of reading to gain any type of understanding - you kind of have to make that leap yourself and keep practicing.
I've stopped using it as my daily driver. I found version upgrades required quite an investment in time and their perfered approach to declarative config kind of sucks. I now use nixos and i try and compartmentalise as much as possible. https://github.com/CertainLach/nixos-qubes looked really promising and it looked like they were making a lot of progress really quickly but they seem to have abandoned the project 9 months ago.
Arch is what I typically run, and learning Qubes helped me understand the relationships between each distro, the file compartmentalization was enjoyable to use. I haven't gotten into nix
I can only read it through secondary sources. How (not) to speak of God by Peter Rollins had a profound impact on my faith.
Deleuze has been a great influence for me on how I think about processes and organization as a sort of fractal structure. I definitely use other sources, let the ideas digest and come back to the original text. Found something interesting to lock on to and just kept digging through what's interesting. Feel like I've barely read much of the actual pages though
