I am currently in a run playing rapid 5|5 because I found myself consistently running out of time in longer time controls. To me, improving at rapid is making significant progress in my overall chess abilities. I developed a better understanding of end games and openings , so that I can spend more time being careful in the middle game. Recently I noticed that I don’t run out of time in Rapid, and that’s progress to me, regardless of my ELO
