Not to be flippant, but I have often felt if I look around and feel that I am the most capable or smartest person in the room, I am probably in the wrong room.

Have you thought about applying to work at a company known for engineering excellence? With remote work becoming more mainstream, why not try it at a big Fang-type shop? I know I felt I was a 100x type engineer until I joined Google for example - a ton of people to learn from in a company like that :D Another option is to embrace the role and lean into mentorship at your current company. But it sounds like that is not something you are interested in at this point, so I would start applying to companies.
