Haven't been in a similar situation, but here are my thoughts.
While many of us hold up the "fastlane" as the holy grail, really it's a lifestyle choice. Nobody can tell you how you should live your life and what you should prioritize. If you're happy with your situation, then keeping on the path you're on seems OK to me. You're making the right choices, by anybody's definition. Nobody here is going to tell you that you're a loser.
No home debt
No car notes
No consumer debt
High paying career
Real estate investments
If you don't want to build a business, then don't. If you're not completely committed, then it's not going to work out well and you'll be worse off than you are now.
It seems clear that you have a high value skill set. If I were in your shoes, I'd do some frequent side hustles (freelancing, consulting, etc.) to generate an extra 30k-50k a year. Then that 700k becomes a million, quite quickly.
Either way, on your current trajectory, if you roll that 700k into a real estate portfolio (rentals) you could generate a solid income. Possibly enough to live off of, and do some work to keep yourself busy / buy some luxuries.
Just my $0.02
