In light of the current market, would a in-person and 6 month bootcamp taught by seasoned developers who have bootcamp experience, at the same price of Codesmith be more appealing? Or sound too good to be true?

If those developers are making $500K a year and true senior top tier engineers, they won't just randomly want to teach a bootcamp and they won't do so consistently for 6 months.
Several have tried this and it's failed.
What you end up with is unemployed bootcamps grads who were laid off and doing it to make money, which is marginally better than a bootcamp instructor who has never worked in industry.
The free market in the USA makes it almost impossible to have the best engineers teach consistently like that.
Meta and Google both PAY their own engineers FULL SALARIES to do 6 month sabaticalls and teach courses at colleges.
People who would be interested in the above would much rather just get a job at Meta and do it via them.
