No one seems to have noticed that 10^3 does not mean 300, but 1000.

Cool @Lichess
If you do it in your own just for fun or because it’s just what you want to do...At first, there is a lot of learning what works just about the basics. Some things will work a lot and you may wonder you have struck gold and figured everything out. Then after that cloud nine, there is studying some openings and skipping ahead to some endgame practices. After that, there’s a lot of playing and focusing on how good you are and comparing yourself to others and respecting players above you. Then you start to realize, alright this will be a lot easier if I just figure out what the best players did. You’ll learn about the history of a few famous grandmasters and learn their systems or famous techniques. Then you’ll crush everyone you were just playing against and get disappointed when it only takes you so far. Then, you’ll learn more about pawn structures for example and study other games more closely. Somewhere in there you’ll think everyone sucks and you can crush all of them. You just have to figure out the exact moves to make and be prepared. Somewhere after that, you will start to enjoy the game and realize, I could put in there effort and keep getting more good in this game. Maybe you will. Maybe not.
The answer is 2 years.
The answer is 2 years.
Now let's try going the opposite direction.

I can only speak for myself but I noticed that I made my biggest rating change in Rapid from Jan-Aug 2021 of almost 200 points. As a player in their late 50's, this shouldn't be so, because the conventional wisdom dictates I should be in decline.
The only thing that makes any sense at all is that the reason for this improvement and rating peak was exactly what you said good players seem to do, which is to train tactics and study their games.
In late January of 2021 Lichess introduced Puzzle Storm which I started playing feverishly. And at the same time I started to request computer analysis for many of these rapid games and clicked on Learn From My Mistakes, blue button.
Before the advent of Puzzle Storm there was only the standard puzzle that was selected based on my current rating level and I couldn't do many of these in a day because they were sometimes quite challenging and took time to solve. I'd only have the energy to do a few and progress was slow, with two steps forward and one back.
But after solving simple tactics in Puzzle Storm and then later, Puzzle Streak, I found I learned all the basic patterns and how certain pieces work together in simplified positions in the endgame. Which tends to be where I win most of my games.
For example If I only have a knight and rook remaining I will look for tactics or mating motifs like Anastasia Mate, Hook Mate, Arabian Mate or a Corner Mate. I don't need to know the names of these mating patterns, but it doesn't hurt either.
The point is the patterns are drilled into my brain now because of the sheer numbers of tactics I'm able to solve in a day because of Puzzle Storm.
And the reality is that solving hard puzzles didn't help in my improvement much at all. Solving one or two really hard puzzles might bring some satisfaction but it doesn't translate into rating points, in my experience.
After learning how pieces work in tandem in skeletal positions the next biggest breakthrough was studying my games with the computer analysis.
You can tell beginners in the forums till you are blue in the face but these two things alone raised my rating more than all the books or games I had played before, but they won't listen for the most part. They need a grandmasters secret opening traps or the next best book or video.
The only book that really helped with rating points is Silman's Complete Endgame Course to bring me up to speed on what I should know at every rating level up to master.
