Big fan of micro. Like nano, it’s non-modal, but unlike nano, it doesn’t need to print its shortcuts on the bottom because everyone already knows most of the shortcuts from almost every GUI editor. And it has inbuilt LSP support (TBH it’s a bit much at times, the UI is a bit too intrusive to (by default) complain every time you violate some style guideline).
Though that’s moot if you don’t have admin privileges on the box you’re working on.

nano -x may be more to your liking then. Or nano -0 if you like being terrified. Hints: Ctrl+X still works to quit. Alt-Z and Alt-X toggle the title and the help respectively. You can also use the toggles in regular nano to hide one or the other if you're bothered by them.
