I've worked with a few people who have this kind of background and got good jobs. I wouldn't recommend Formation though for you because you are looking for practical skills. We do (as of July 2023) a minimal amount of version control and production coding - but we don't "teach" anything, it's all practice + feedback and you have to be the driver.
If you are considering doubling down on fundamentals and applying to to top tier companies, consider Formation. If you want to get practical experience and then a job applying those practical skills, then I would suggest getting involved with a large scale open source project (that has support from a large company) that checks the boxes and contributing fixes over a few months.
The job market is tough right now for someone with your background and there aren't any paths that will make it particularly fast.
