So, IS-IS being preferred...realistically, what is the learning curve?

Low, IMO. If you know EIGRP/OSPF, you'll have no trouble picking-up IS-IS. Took me a few hours in a Cisco lab @ Uni to have it all worked-out (interestingly that was about all the CCNP labs covered at the time!) Of course, knowing how the protocol works at a level suitable for implementation in a critical network takes a bit longer, but you shouldn't have any issue bootstrapping your test networks for that purpose.
