It shouldn't be. The difference between an actual cheater and someone who's just playing really, really well is much more noticeable than you might think.
Is fast improvement bad?

Nah. I went a long time playing on lichess and getting better and then switched to chess.com and shot up a ton
If you're not using the engine to find moves during games there is nothing to worry about.
I spent my entire career as a professor worried that “they” would find out and that I would be exposed as a fraud. But, they never did, maybe because I wasn’t a fraud.
If you are winning every game because of genuine skill, they won’t catch you cheating.
I lost to a 1200 last week. Don’t expect to win every game, even every game against weak opponents.

So, I have been doing a chess course outside of chess.com. Right now my elo is very low here, but I am hoping to be much better when I return. So, I am wondering if I might be flagged as a cheater if I suddenly start playing and winning every game until my elo matches my new true rating. Is this a possibility?
