I think your approach is a sensible one. Online writer culture is awful, and it really should be about the work (and it can be, nobody has to do all of that other bullshit unless they want to however much they claim otherwise). And I don't think a couple of years with an agent unable to sell a book is that unusual. I do think people should quit when they want to quit (or take a break for a few years), but it sounds like, as you say, you're just starting a new chapter. Doing it your own way is the only way to write anything worthwhile anyway in my opinion.
