But overall, for someone just starting with color, you can get really close with a Zorn palette. Emulating original technique is difficult, and from experience, better relegated as a secondary exercice, once basic paint handling is mastered.
To build up on your advises, from what I heard, zinc white is mostly troublesome when used exclusively, but is ok when mixed.
For burnt umber, I think the trick is not to use it e.g. on the upper layers, as it tries (very) fast. However, in the first layers it's perfectly fine, precisely because of that.
Similarly, using ivory black in lower layers can be discouraged because it dries much too slow.
But, OP, all those details shouldn't matter too much for you now, they'll come along naturally as you progress. Try to keep things very simple at first, otherwise you'll struggle to efficiently progress.
Understanding how to navigate a palette, how to replicate colors, how to toy with temperature, how to see/paint various planes, etc. This should be you main focuses.
