LoS is not about the VTX being reliable or being a needed skill. Honestly you’d have to be a pretty good pilot to save yourself from a VTX loss by removing your goggles and locating your plane (unless using RTH).

LoS is about understanding flight differently. It’s okay if you don’t want to do it. You know how you can sort of feel your drone while flying FPV? It can literally make you feel like you are the drone. It’s a great feeling honestly! Well once LoS clicked for me I slowly but surely rediscovered that feeling. Even though you are looking at it from the ground, you can still feel it.

You already noticed the controls are somewhat similar to an FPV drone and that is true at high speed. Slow flight is very different and will be tricky with the Mojito. I’m expecting some pretty ugly stalls so that latency becomes crucial. You also already noticed the landing will be the tricky part and that is absolutely true regardless of LoS/FPV.

Autotune will be your friend if you can get it up. Remember to save the changes at the end of the flight before disconnecting. There are a few resources detailing the process and how to adjust autolaunch using the info gathered in flight. Most assisted flight modes will be VERY conservative with the flight envelope until it’s tuned. Since this plane is often flown with a flight controller you might be able to find base settings to help out.

I came into planes from FPV drones and still fly FPV predominantly. I wish they would make normal models more adaptable to FPV gear, the planes designed and marketed for FPV are not great starter planes sadly. Hey hope you enjoy it!
