I have been using Arch for five years and I think I would like to call myself at least a progressive beginner when it comes to Linux, computers and networking, to be humble. 🤣

I would like to "move on" to Gentoo or LFS to force myself to learn more^[This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked!]. Please share your pros and cons for switching to any one of these approaches.

Use case: a gaming rig (using nvidia's proprietary drivers and an AMD CPU) on one system and a server on a separate system.

I think you don't understand what LFS is. It is not a distribution you move on to, you build it from the ground up yourself following instructions and understanding how it works. Gentoo does all of that for you, you just have a ready to go distribution where you compile applications from source; you can even use binary builds to avoid compiling complicated and big apps.
