Trim is certainly quite important to be used in flight.
There is a tutorial that you can find here: Improving My Aircraft Endurance/Extending Range, and there is also another tutorial outside of the IFC here: https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/lists/2018/04/7-times-to-use-trim-on-your-next-flight/

I put it always at 30%. It helps me a lot during takeoff and landing

It is kinda like calibration so it makes it easier to control the plane. I learned by just messing around with it and figured it out

Yes it’s very helpful, especially with big planes.

It is helpful, I learned that from experience (ie: I’m on approach when I disengage AP and I start climbing at 5,000fpm).

In IF I have found that the trim feature does nothing. IRL however, trim is quite important but many planes have automated trim systems.

Just be careful you don’t take trim off to sudden or it could cause your aircraft to loose altitude

I don’t usually set trim for take-offs (except in the B747s, I set it around 2-3%, I don’t know why only I set it in this aircraft, but I just do 🤷🏽♂️), and after climbing past FL200, I set the trim to the point where the pink lines disappear.

It’s a pretty useful feature. It helps mainly with heavy takeoffs and it can kind of smooth out landings as well. Also good for getting some extra miles of range.
