I would also recommend at least going through the theoretical one (100 Engames you must know) before or at the same time.

From what I read (and a leaf through) 100 Endgames it often takes on specific scenarios and niche endgames after a chapter of revision/introduction, certainly aimed more towards master level.

I’d probably recommend Silman’s Endgame Course for a more gentle and structured endgame book, or 100 Endgames You Must Know if you want to work hard on something which is manageable and covers all bases.

first you have to go through basic endgames (say DeLaVilla's"100 Endgames..."

I already have 100 Endgames You Must Know, so I could definitely go through it again.

I did a lot of Woodpecker Method on chessable but I'm not convinced its ideal for working through tactics.

Lately i've only studied tactics books on chessable since its much faster when you dont have to set up a board, especially for woodpecker.

There are many decent tactics/calculation books. You could consider one of: Forcing Chess Moves, Turbo Charge Your Chess Tactics, Woodpecker Method, Romain Eduoard's calculation books, Finding Chess Jewels.

I like the woodpecker method for tactics but following the Dojo recommendations is also totally fine.
