Nah my friend practiced it when he was on lichess and his peak was like 2630 and he lowkey got like 1-2 points every puzzle even then.
Puzzles should not be a competition. The goal of improving is not to increase your puzzle rating, but to get better at chess and maybe improve your actual rating. If puzzles were a competition and had a leaderboard, it would really defeat the real point of puzzles.
