You would read their thesis? Pretty sure the people who hired me for their postdoc did no such thing.
BTW I'm not really an appropriate role-model/example as I neither think I will make it realistically, nor do I want/need to be a PI.

Sure but is a measure of a phd being on track whether they will make it as a PI one day or not? Maybe it is
-
In my experience, for most people: yes. Given the reactions I get when I say I'm not interested in being a PI, I'd say mortified isn't that far off of they like me and "yeah I knew you couldn't make it" if they don't.

But it’s a bit outdated. Majority of phd students move out of academia
-
Yes. I feel like I need to underline that I don't agree with them, so I am. Nevertheless, I do have trouble not seeing myself as a failure anyway, but that's not relevant to outmoded views, just my own pessimistic outlook.
