Wow - that sure took a while! A year since the first part of build 42 released and just in time for the holidays, Project Zomboid build 42 finally goes online.
Interesting, I find the combat controls also very simple. In addition to the space bar I listed, I only use the left and right mouse buttons to aim and attack.
It sounds like it maybe has improved since you played, although I would be surprised if they haven’t always had weapons. I only started playing with build 41 though.
I find that the tutorial level that they include now teaches the core controls very well.

It’s been years since I played. When I did, the only options (at least that I found) were shove and stomp. I guess it’s improved since then.

When I played, there absolutely, positively was not a tutorial level. Or even the hint of one. Good to know things have changed!
