I think you forgot something very important. I save all my otb games in pgns via lichess studies (online games are not so meaningful to me) and annotate key moments using the engine for assistance. It takes me 30-60 minutes to analyze each of my games - sometimes more if I get into an opening or difficult position that I don't fully understand. Then I review what I wrote without engine help, ask myself more questions and annotate further if necessary to make sure I fully understand where I went wrong. I like to sit on the positions where I made mistakes and calculate the position as if fresh to make sure the engine isn't misleading me into thinking things are as easy as replacing move x with move y.

Often, I come back days or weeks later to make sure I didn't forget prior lessons from my own games. This process is very useful to me especially when I have games in the same opening system that I can compare and see if I corrected prior mistakes. I take things further outside of just reviewing games but that's for a different discussion.

The funny thing is that I do exactly what you said not to do. I just go deeper than just looking at engine suggestions and calling it a day.

I am pleasantly surprised I am not the first to notice there is a knight missing on c3.
