Rode flat for a long time, and just recently switched to clipless and i love it. I understand what you mean by not riding more technical areas because of fear of falling, however, i’m found that uncliping myself and still "pushin" the pedal with the middle of my feet works ok enough for some technical climbs… for the rest, i’m always clipped on.

get yourself a good quality used bike, change the tires and have it tuned. There are extremely good deals out there and buying new won’t help you much because if you are serious about riding, within a year you’ll change half the components on it. On that subject, aim for XT/equivalent.
