Success stories aren't anomalies but they also aren't the norm. It's somewhere in between and that's why they come across so polarizing - because people only talk about one end or the other.
You could be a good candidate for a bootcamp. Especially if you did some CS courses in college (which it doesn't sound like you did) I would say an even stronger yes. You can absolutely do more than web dev via a bootcamp. Bootcamps try to teach marketable skills so their graduates have a resume of buzzwords that overlap with the most jobs possible. Some try too hard and teach 6 languages and you don't end up learning anything. So the best ones end up in the middle, teaching one language / framework, while exposing them to a couple of others in a lighter way.
Anyways, look at Codesmith, Rithm, Launch School Capstone, and the usual suspects and see if they are a good fit for you. Look at the day to day and how they work, not just the superficial things people say!
