I want to start playing Kiriko more and I’m having trouble with her kit. Any general advice to help me not get yelled at for throwing?

You can teleport to get rid of any status affects that are on you while playing her.
If the enemy team doesn’t have good CC you can use her purify more carelessly but if theres a hero like Junkerqueen try to save it for the ult if you think she might be using it soon.
You can use purify to make teammates invulerable to attacks, like a riptire.
As she is a support i’d think people should try supporting more than attacking, however if you can kill anyone to assist then feel free to do so.
For her ult try coordinating with DPS like Soldier, you can be the start of the push! a LOT of heroes can melt others when the Kitsune is guiding.

You might want to go to her section in Controls and turn off the option that makes you fire 5 talismans per button press so you can only launch one or two to heal chip damage without wasting any.

Don’t forget to utilize her wall climb. I can’t tell you how often I see players playing low ground Kiriko when they can heal from above and tp to her team when in danger.
Also you can visually see if your healing is going to hit or miss if you can see your target, and the teleportation icon is around your team member. As long as you can see your teammate, and you see the teleport icon around their character, your healing will follow them when you send heals.

Cleanse is your number 1 ability, you need to always be aware of enemy team ults and abilities(such as mei freeze, junker queen rush, sombra hacks , ana nades), in addition cleanse can give a brief window of no damage which can be the difference of life and death in a lot of situations.
In addition you need to be aware of your teams ults and such, such as reaper, so that you can Cleanse them while they are ulting so they are not picked off.
