Do I need any technical skills to set it up?
None. No soldering, no wiring, no coding. Install the software (takes a couple of minutes), plug in the G1000, and fly. If you can install an app, you can set this up.
Can I use this for real-world instrument training?
Yes. This is designed by an FAA CFII specifically for procedure practice and G1000 proficiency. It's an excellent tool for building the muscle memory and button logic you need before or between actual flights. Many customers use it to prepare for instrument checkrides and commercial training.
