I think your thinking is mostly right, but I’d tweak it a bit. The risk is not “too many pages,” the risk is Google not seeing a reason to care yet. Millions of pages without trust is like shouting in a big room with no name. I’ve seen sites stall because they scaled content before proving value on a small slice.
If I were you, I’d pause mass indexing and pick a tiny group of pages to make clearly better than others in your niche, even if that means adding context, internal links, or simple explanations users didn’t ask for but need.
Position 40 means Google is testing you, not ignoring you. Backlinks won’t save that stage, and DA jumps don’t matter much anyway. What helps more is user signals over time, like people clicking, staying, and not bouncing fast.
I’d also let the site age a bit and build patterns slowly, because spam looks fast and loud, while real sites grow uneven and boring. It’s frustrating, but rushing millions of pages too early can freeze growth later, learned that the hard way tbh.
