I believe an elite online 6-max pro could likely beat the game for a thin margin. Virtually no low-limit live player can.
For full disclosure I should also note that the player pool post C-19 was tougher as there were more young regs and less weak older players.
If you are struggling to win in 1|2 games then you need to devote more time to studying.
If you've played for a living you should know that while very unpleasant and fairly rare, 5 losing sessions in a row isn't that big of a deal. When you're on a downswing it's natural for poker to feel harder than it usually is. I would recommend taking a short break and going back. Don't doubt yourself so much if you have a long winning record.
4+2 rake isn't that bad. A lot of places still have 5+2. If you think the player pool has gotten tougher shop around, but I have never played a 1|2 game anywhere that I felt was too tough to beat.
