I wish for a desktop app to download mp3 files from youtube with proper metadata like album, artist etc. Ideally I would be looking for something like YTDLnis. I've had experience with downloading yt videos using yt-dlp GUIs, however I cannot figure out the addition of metadata part when downloading audio files. Even though a separate to insert metadata onto existing files might be useful for me later on, I would prefer it to be included within the downloader.

try musicbrainz picard for the metadata

I could consider it, but the UI and the documentation is too complicated. Is there a quick guide to using it that you could link?

for me, opening my music folder in Picard (available for download at https://picard.musicbrainz.org/) and clicking "analyze" was enough

are you sure you are not mixing up MusicBrainz (the Metadata Database) with MuiscBrainz Picard (the tool to put metadata on files)
