Congrats on finishing RTK! I used the Heisig / RTK method in my first year living in Japan. I really liked it. I don't remember the exact timings but did the first 1300 kanji in about two months, and the remainder (i.e. about 800) over the following six months or so. I told the first Japanese teacher I had in Japan that I "knew" 1300 kanji and she was very confused as to why I couldn't read anything.

I really liked Anki, the fact you can do it anywhere, and I found RTK interesting, and therefore very motivating.

When you say that kanji don't really look like random symbols any more, this *really* resonates with me - I totally agree, this is how I felt after finishing RTK.

I haven't heard of going from (frontside) kanji to (backside) English keyword before. As I'm sure you know, the conventional Heisig method is to go from English keyword to kanji. I gradually replaced the English keyword prompts with Japanese words (so for example, the card has たべる on the front, and I have to write 食 or 食べる to "pass" the card). I also added stroke order diagrams to all my cards so I could check my stroke order.

So I am a big RTK fan. That being said, now that I teach Japanese I always hesitate to recommend RTK to students, because it's just so divisive. Some people see it as a waste of time, to "learn" kanji without learning any readings. I tend to show people the book, explain the method, and usually students have a good idea of whether that's something that might work for them or whether it seems like their worst nightmare - in which case, they can use their time to learn kanji another way.
