Do legal forms really change that often? Is it a pain to have to re-learn things or are they similar enough that it's not a big deal?

Forms change, but they do let you know what you need to know about the changes.

Ivan,

Learn the current documents when you become a real estate agent, and then with each revision, there will be reports that will let you know exactly how they have changed from the previous version.

Nice that we no longer have to stock up on printed forms, when they change on dotloop it is not a problem.

Our CA contracts and few forms changed this year, not a big deal. Read carefully and notice all new changes. Our local board also provides classes where they explain in details all changes. I've been to few modifications and I'm sure, more will follow.

from time to time our contracts have undergone drastic changes. Mostly just subtle, but not always. It's a big deal when it is.

Yes, changes are ongoing. Your Designated Broker should keep you updated as changes occur.
