I’m transitioning this part of my yard away from lawn but am not sure yet to what… My main focus for now is the new vegetable garden at the sunnier end of the lot. In the meantime, I’m wondering if there are plants already growing I should allow to spread or, on the contrary, prioritize cutting down or pulling up…

Get rid of the camphor tree saplings. Pull them, don’t cut them. Cutting them makes their roots stronger.
You have a native deer tongue grass that I would leave
Those chamber bitters are gonna be a big issue for you. They will be your main garden weed. Pull them, don’t compost them. Sadly they seed super easily so I bag them and put them in the trash.
It looks like you have native basket grass, I would leave it.
You should familiarize yourself with all of these plants and learn which ones you want to keep based on your desired end goal.
