The in-built `viper-mode` does what you want.

Use Evil-define-key.

You should always check for evil’s documentation. At least for
configuration level, it is thorough

The default vim behavior of C-n and C-p in insert state is manually
triggering completion pop up menu. No one really uses it I believe,
most people I know using either vim or evil as their primary editor,
bind them to the next line/previous line.

I don’t recommend using viper, viper emulates vi, not vim. You can’t
bear a vi emulation layer without visual state and text objects
stuffs.

I don’t remember the setting off the top of my head, but I use what is
effectively a hybrid. My insert mode just had regular emacs bindings
and I switch between both depending on what I’m doing. I learned vim
first though and then layered in readline/emacs bindings
