On “Switching to a Scala position soon, where should I start?”
You might want to check out this free crash course. Full disclosure: it's mine.

On “Good book for non-beginners in programming”
I know you are asking about a book but you are a perfect target audience for this crash course link to this video Full disclosure: it's mine.
There are many great Scala books and Programming in Scala is the one I started with as well.

I think a crash course is all you need. I made one a year ago link to this video

On “Should I learn it? If yes then which?”
I'm sure you will like Scala. Scala 3 has many syntactic goodies, but as many pointed out it's not a huge difference. Btw I have a free crash course that covers both (mostly Scala2) that will get you up-to-speed link to this video and also a Scala-focused FP crash course as well link to this video I hope it helps!

I recently made a Scala Crash Course link to this video you might want to check it out. There is no play! in there though, just Scala.

You are the perfect target audience for the crash course I made not so long ago. Watch it and you'll be fine.

I made a crash course not so long ago, which includes an \`Environment Setup\` section (the link will lead you straight to it). You might want to check it out.

On “Starting with Scala”
If you already know any other programming language my free crash course should get you pretty far link to this video
If you have never programmed before I have a free course as well. It's not the shortest one though and also I didn't make it pragmatic on purpose so maybe a "proper" course would be better. I think Daniel from RockTheJVM has one but I'm not sure. link to this video

If you already know some other programming language check out this crash course link to this video
If you've never programmed before check out this (way too long) playlist link to this video
If you're interested in FP check out this video link to this video
I also have a websites which lists some of my courses (all of them are free on YouTube) with descriptions.

On “Which tutorial to learn functional programming without going in depth ?”
That post ended up quite longer than I expected lol.
TLDR:
\- just use Scala however you like, imperative programming isn't forbidden.
\- Follow [video or [video for example and just go out there and try to solve the problems you want to solve with Scala.
