#What's a good resource for getting a refresh on grammar I've already learned?

I'd just skim through Tae Kim and get back to consuming media as fast as possible.
Also, is reading through Tae Kim in one sitting a good idea?
If you want to skim through concepts, sure, might as well. If you're reading it for the first time, and/or you are a beginner in grammar, then I'd recommend you take your time to let concepts settle in and such.
I've tried reading it before, and I have an N5 level of grammar comprehension.
Again, since you say that you've already done some study on basic grammar, I recommend you just look through concepts that you may have forgotten or unknown ones and try to get into media as fast as possible.
Could Cure Dolly's videos be used for the same thing?
you can also use this: https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/grammar/masterreference.html it's super helpful (especially while immersing) to do lookups on grammar you know but don't properly remember, or even to completely learn new grammar
If you like Cure Dolly, sure, they are usually short enough from what I remember.
The Itazuraneko master reference? Yeah, that can work as well. JMDict most likely has the most basic grammar concepts already in it though, so you can simply use Yomichan as well.
Tbh, The Refold grammar primer is going to be the shortest read. It's going to cover the most common grammar concepts you'll see in Japanese and that's about it. We don't grade things by JLPT level here.

What resource do you recommend the most for learning grammar overall?
if i can chime in again, it's up to you, but the 3 most commonly recommended in depth grammar guides are Tae Kim, Imabi and cure dolly. Cure dolly is video, and a lot of people praise her for putting grammar into very understandable terms, if you struggle learning from video, Tae Kim is also very good, imabi is also written, i'd say it usually goes a little more indepth, sometimes adding a lot to where it can be a bit overwhelming (my personal experience).
Also, people have transcripted cure dolly videos for people who don't like the video format: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XpuXerkGU8waJ4DPDNJA4bGeqOvM-csXjTe57iHARHc/edit#heading=h.dpg9nwd6i3fs
In Editing. If you want to help, PM me and I’ll add you 1. The Basic Types of Sentences The most basic thing about Japanese is the Japanese core sentence. Every Japanese sentence fundamentally has the same core. What does it look like? It looks like this. We're going to picture it as a train. Ev...
