Don't worry about that. All these really fine tools (exactly my set of
tools btw) share a common property: You'll improve your productivity
from, say, day three. Of i.e. git I know may be 1% of the features. But
I was going in no time. There will be the moments of 'oh, had I known
this four weeks before', but that happens whatever art you learn! So,
drop bibtex and choose one of the utf-ready alternatives and you have
a very capable set of tools to write your dissertation (and beyond)!

(Luckily mine was done a while ago, but org-mode would have made my 
self-organisation 
 so much easier! And org-babel ...)

Good luck
