Another thing I’d recommend is getting the book “How to reassess your chess, 4th edition” by Jeremy Sillman. Completely changed how I approach my games and the positions im in.

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.
