Is National Master in 2-3 years a realistic goal for me?

Probably not, I play some blitz but I barely enjoy that. My original goal was 2,000 and I hit it I have nothing else I wish to achieve.

That’s fair, 2000 is a great goal. As long as you had fun, elo doesn’t really matter much.

Maybe, to put it in perspective, to be the strenght of a nm you would probably have to reach 2400-2600 online rating which in itself is a huge obstacle

Then you also need to have a very good repertoire, it’s possible, but completely up to how much time you are going spend studying chess

If you feel that it is worth all the time and effort then go for it

Definitely more realistic for you than for the typical 50 year old player rated 600 who wants to become a GM in 6 months.
