I've been meaning to migrate off of Lastpass, I think this would put Keychain in the mix of options. I haven't used keychain in years, is it still pretty clunky?

Keychain is clunky, but Passwords is better. Functionally Passwords isn’t as robust as LastPass (or 1Password) but their handling of their last security breach proved they’re not deserving of my business and getting off their service was a high priority for me.

iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma should have better 3rd party browser integration, certainly Chrome for now… hopefully Firefox in the near future.

Unfortunately yes, it still is IMO.

Keychain Access.app hasn't changed in years. But if you're just interested in filling out passwords, then you can use the Passwords settings pane in system settings and/or the password settings screen in Safari.

How so?

There is no application and doing anything from looking for a login detail to editing a password is on a par, interface wise, as editing a registry key on windows.

System Settings has the Password section and there's Keychain Access.
