Do you think playing with Max Level Stockfish and learning from it is a good idea?

Do you think playing a slow game against a max level Stockfish (which I will obviously lose) and analyze them later would be more helpful than playing with an actual human being that rates equally me with live chess (which I can sometimes win because they might make mistake)

No. I recommend playing against human opponents more often. Computers can't "think" the same way that human players do. Human players will stay more consistent with their planning (even if one idea is flawed), whereas the computer will sometimes play good moves which seem inconsistent with the "idea" and then return to it.

It's also important to practice exploiting mistakes and suboptimal strategies like pawn-pushers, or players who try for quick attacks like Scholar's Mate. A high-rated computer won't make mistakes large enough for you to get practice punishing.

Yes, you can learn the best move in the most common positions and play it while v/s a fellow human. If someone thinks this trick doesn't work, i came 3rd in a TOURNAMENT by using this method of training.
