it looked like Flynt's Developer's Guide was maybe a better choice for me? Lots of people said not to use Welch as a main/first book?

I don't have the Flynt book. I do have 'Effective Tcl/Tk programming', McLennan, and 'Tcl and the Tk Toolkit', Ousterhout. I don't really look at them too much any more; unless I'm looking to jog my memory. I'm sure the Flynt book will be just fine. You can always ask for example scripts here.
Caveat; when automating your build scripts, you might find it easier to have a top-level Makefile, and within that make file use Tcl scripts, eg. quartus_<tool> -s script.tcl. Hence, learning both how to use the Tcl APIs and the command-line versions of tools is recommended.
