Hey, I've noticed a lot of tutorials use Corona Mix instead of the regular Composite map. Is there a big difference between them, or do they just use it 'cause it's more Corona-friendly?

There are some difference between them, like for example composite lets you use unlimited number of map, while with Corona mix you'd need to use nesting if you need more than 2 maps. On the other hand Corona mix lets you choose between linear and sRGB mixing and it also has some additional layer controls. But for general purpose they are interchangeable, you can use one or another depending on your personal preference.
I'm not Corona Team member. Everything i say, is my personal opinion only.

For me Composite map is SUPER slow to load, but has more options (as many mixes as you need) so corona mix is no good for me, if it could be updated would be great!

Is that a feature request I hear?! A good time to head to the Ideas Portal https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ideas and add it :) If you would be so kind.
