I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don’t feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

I don’t think your plan to get more serious is pointed at the right end or means.
You don’t point criticism at programming languages necessarily. Because, later you’ll want to find an ecosystem best suited to achieve a specific task.
If a later task becomes a serious consideration, then you’ll seriously consider the best placed language to complete that task. Consequent language quibbles might be path of the course.
For example, working on Android is only going to be effective through a handful of languages such as Java, Kotlin, C#, JavaScript, …
Breaking new ground with another language pointed at Android would be like climbing Mt Everest without all the usual equipment. Sure it’s a challenge, but is it the challenge you want?
Learn any language that helps you learn, but that’s only as a means to that (learning) end.
