Is Kant really that influential? Is the ultimate redpill just studying Kant and forgoing everything else?

The same if you read pre-Descartes philosophy: everything directs at Plato or Aristotle. Your best bet is to read him and participate in the philosophical conversation.

Yes. The only philosophers that can be argued to be more influential are Plato and Aristotle.

Yes. Kant is probably the earlies philosopher that still has relevance, and whose ideas are still discussed.

Kant is to us what Plato and Aristotle was to Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

If you haven't read every single line of the two editions of the first critique you can't call yourself a philosopher.

Kant's Transcendental Idealism is honestly not that difficult to understand. However, it does become nuanced when one goes about justifying or criticizing it, no doubt. I'm not sure I agree with it though because from what I've read, Speculative Realists did give some decent arguments against Transcendental Idealism.
Also, Schopenhauer did criticize Kant's Critique of Pure Reason as being overly verbose and argued the Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics is his best book.
Keep in mind, I am a layman when it comes to philosophy.
