Silman’s book is very likely the only book on theoretical endgames you’ll need for a long time. Quality book on a fundamental topic, presented well with no unnecessary fluff.
first you have to go through basic endgames (say DeLaVilla's"100 Endgames..." or Silman's "Complete endgame Course")
Silman's complete endgame course is my Bible and made my endgame step up so much. It's very well structured, you can skip the first chapters at your level but the last ones will give you very important theoretical knowledge.
If you want to improve your endgame overall, I suggest reading silman's complete endgame course.
The answers I believe in here are Silman's Complete Endgame Course (which shares a lot of your philosophy - there's no N+B mate in it)
The Woodpecker Method

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.
The Woodpecker Method.
