I’m wondering if I should try DMing and it feels like a huge responsibility to make it from scratch (though I assume it largely falls into place if I can figure out material conditions that allow for quick improvisation)

If you haven’t done it use a premade campaign. Its much more manageable and fun when you dont have to begin knowing every detail and possibility. You’ll learn as you go and after 3 or 4 you’ll be off on your own easy.
Edit: I also can’t stress this enough, learn to improvise and learn it well.
Edit 2: did not see the improvisation part of the body. That just comes with time, experience, and reading a lot of stories.
I already am good at improvisation (I can’t feasibly prove it but I don’t need to) so I feel, ironically, MOST confident on that front
For me thats the best part and probably why my sessions run like an episode of adventure time. I always write shells for the session and just fill in the blanks as we get there.
