It's super easy and really not a problem, helps any bubbles come to the top, if you have the lever level then you might spill a drop or two at worse with a particularly vigorous pump. Just start out slow and throw in a few long, hard squeezes whilst tapping from the bottom to the top of the whole system.

As exciting as that sounds, I'm gonna wait until after the weekend to try it. I have fucked things up with a bit of last minute 'maintenance' on bikes, when I actually really need them to work, too many times.

This!
It's not rocket science and yeah setting up disc brakes ain't as daunting as it sounds.

Cheers for this. Pumping the brake lots and lots gradually improved it, still not what it was but I'm able to brake before the lever hits the bar now. Not going to try opening the bleed port yet as I need this bike working properly this weekend for the bikemonger Dorset Gravel Dash, but will try that after.
