Fulcrum on Umbrel?

Thanks very much for the help. Do you all have experience doing chain data analysis using bitcoin core and / or fulcrum? Do I need fulcrum, or could I just use bitcoin core? I’m not sure what format bitcoin core alone or fulcrum would provide the chain data. The RPC app from Umbrel provides the data in an easy JSON format, so I wonder if the data is accessible from bitcoin core or fulcum in a similar format.

As you can tell, I’m a noob at this, so any help is great.
