>3. I still get imposter syndrome because I can barely solve leetcode questions in interviews and feel like I'm missing something. Would a degree resolve that issue? No idea. But fact or fiction there is a part of me that believes it would've at least give me a bit more confidence in my abilities.
It likely wouldn't. What would help you with solving leetcode questions is just grinding leetcode questions. Taking an algorithm class years ago wouldn't help beyond your first attempt at the problems.
That said for all the other reasons you listed, getting a college degree is usually a good idea.
