I do ponder turning points in my blitz games afterwards. There are of course skewed by my identifying them as turning points. I don't really use bots anymore to anaylse because their suggestions are - for me - too much "out there".
To play more fast games is an idea I mainly got from the children chess course which - in normal times - runs parallel to our go club. These kids are incredible fast in making solid decisions for things they do know. They mostly don't lose a piece due to a one-mover, too. I probably would beat them in a serious tournament setting because I can actually read better but in blitz it's more like 50:50. In my opinion that tells a lot about having the fundamentals down.
My goal for now is to improve the bottom end of my "best-move-spread". I'm fine when I play at like 75% efficiency on avarage but I don't like the occaisional 30% outlier.

Something I found very helpful in reviewing with bots that avoided that specific issue was turning off "show best move" and just having it give me a point value for moves, so White + 0.5 or whatever. Then I would play through sequences around points where my opponents or I deviated far from good play, or points which I find interesting. I get feedback that can help find better responses for both but still stay within "moves I can see." It's also useful figuring out why a move has significant negative point swing too I think. Assuming you don't click around randomly trying to find the answer like some bad habit left over from doing tsumego on a phone.
