Should I worry about Instagram analytics and insights when I'm just starting out?

No, stay away from stats for now. Focus on doing the marketing work — creating and posting content consistently. Repeat what seems to be working and ignore what isn’t. Don’t get caught up analyzing numbers. Just keep creating and posting. The analytics can become a distraction from the actual work of building your presence and testing different content approaches.
