Should I write the accidentals before the note without a key signature while I am still practising the basics, or shall I go all-in directly?
Why not do both? In actual music, of course, you'll have to play from the key signature. But also, when a composer momentarily expresses a different key (what theory nerds call a tonicization), they'll provide accidentals. So you'll need fluency with both.

If you're good at music, you'll be good a sight-reading whether you practice it or not.
Fantastic point! This is why some places outside of the U.S., relying on the old conservatory methods, start students on solfege and piano and transition to an instrument once proficiency has been acquired: you get good at music, then you express it on an instrument of your choice. This approach seems closer to learning a language as a child than as an adult. But because most people here don't learn music this way, I'm not sure you can recreate this "immersion" approach in adult learners.
