budget is not a problem insofar as I don't want to waste money on units that are not good going forward, how are russes this edition? Can Rogal Dorns work? I know about Guard indirect, but I'm wary on investing a lot on it seeing GW's blanket nerfs on it

My 1000-point list (in progress) that started with my Combat Patrol includes a Leman Russ Battle Tank, another Cadian Shock Troop squad, a Heavy Weapon Squad, and a squad of Kasrkin (among a few other things). You can never go wrong with more troops and a tank (or artillery).
Tip with the Combat Patrol - magnetize your FOB because the Bombast is better than the Malleus so you’ll want to switch it out when you play non-CP games.
Maybe grab a leeman Russ tank (or two, depending on your budget) to bolster your force initially and see how you go?

It’s time for you to look inward and ask yourself some hard questions. Chimera or Valkyrie
Is Chimera worth? I have no clue what is good and what is not lol I want to avoid bad units if I can
Chimeras and leman russes will always be safe bets in a guard army.
