You seem like you have enough music DNA that you can simply learn by doing. A few lessons on technique would not hurt, but really aren't necessary to enjoy the instrument. The White Grand (and just about anything on a Nord) sounds great, even with very simple and sparse music. The tone quality is good enough that you can sound long tones, and they sound good with resonance, reverb, etc. From there, maybe try learning different scales in different keys, then different chord positions, then tying them together in various ways -- and it all sort of flows from there. Or just try to play things that sound good to you.
The only time I have sought out instruction (formal or informal) is when I've encountered something I didn't know how to do, and I wanted to do it. You can learn a lot from Youtube, by the way.
EDIT: there are many people on this forum who would qualify as "professional" pianists, and I am not one of them. I just love to play, and have become really good at it.
