It’s a problem (picking up the grain) that’s worse with a short plane. Is your iron super sharp?
A torture board or speed file will allow cheating, you can subtly dress down the torn grain area in a work zone of a foot or more, and then scrape along the grain to remove sanding scratches. A properly sharpened cabinet scraper will deal with rising grain.
I don’t see it as naïveté to try your approach, it’s just the learning curve.
