I have been searching for exactly this, but yes- the main advice that I have gotten is that while academia sucks, it's sort of the only way because it's the only way to find communities of practice. Specifically got this from someone who did independent research b4 grad school

What was the experience of that person who did independent research?

Right; but in what framework? Who pays for it? How is everyone involved incentivized (financially and in prestige and curiosity satisfaction)? Who is accountable for what, and to whom, and how is that evaluated?

Nietzsche pointed to this need in his anti-education lectures. His description reminded me of the research and development at the core of some modern technology companies, which churn out new technologies and individuals who then start new research and development companies.
