If that’s the case it should be a much easier transition. I also came from Ubuntu originally.
You will notice the difference right away. Everything is always up to date so you’re not waiting half a year for updates and there’s no big upgrade transitions between major versions. And pacman is a lot faster than apt in general.
Plus with the AUR you’ll never touch another PPA again. Almost anything you could possibly want is in there, even some of the most obscure/specific things.
I do recommend doing everything from scratch if you have the time, but if not EndeavourOS is literally just preconfigured Arch (and I do mean literally, it uses the same repos) so that’s also a solid option.
I’ve spent over a decade in Ubuntu and using ssh terminals to run code, but I’m looking for big boy Linux. I think I’ll try it out.

That sounds amazing actually. And a good challenge, I’ll give it a go when I get my computer back next week.
