LSF is not a distro. It is a instruction manual and teaching aid. Don’t use it as a base for you main OS. And IMO Gentoo does not really teach you more then Arch does. It gives a bit of flexibility that not many care about (how things are compiled) at a very big cost (of having to compile everything yourself). I would not use either unless compiling things is your hobby.
Sure, try them in a VM if you really want to. But I would not really consider that moving on from your current distro nor do you really need to do that.

I agree with everything you said. LSF is not a distro. It is a instruction manual and teaching aid. Don’t use it as a base for your main OS OP, you can use it as your main OS, and I know some people do. I wouldn’t recommend it, though. Because once you have LFS you realise that you need at least automatic dependency resolution. And once you start thinking about it you realise that you’re reinventing a package manager. At that point just use a distro you like :D
