(For some reason, it is not very easy to find unless you already
know it's there.)


With respect to consonant clusters, Lojban seems
to be rather complicated (and somewhat arbitrary).


Yes.


Fortunately, beginners don't really need to know
all this. In most cases...


It's not something you have to worry too much about until you
start creating your own lujvo/fu'ivla/cmevla.


I can only think of one thing beginners may want
to do and may need "a bigger picture" for:
Lojbanizing their own name! This can be quite
difficult, I think. Maybe, it's a good idea not
to tell beginners that something like Lojbanizing
of names exists.


It's not as if you can keep it a secret! :)

Every language makes some adaptation of foreign words to its own
phonology, so Lojban is not special in this regard.
