I'm to break your last final point and compare you to me right now.
A truly inspiring post. I'm in a similar position, though I do have background in CS just no college paperwork to back it up. I'm currently in Milan (I'm Italian), which is 4h away from where I previously lived, working for a great company. I'm currently the youngest self taught developer hired here to date and I aspire to also make the youngest senior developer here.
For some more detail on what I do: I applied for a full stack javascript role which was going to be express + react but now I've been working for about 4 months in c#. I learned c# back in my CS focussed high school but really picked it up well on my own time and while here at work. I'm looking into doing some work with unity for fun as well as to maybe sneak my way into the VR team at my company so I can get recognized faster as a dedicated developer. I've also recently started mentoring a few people in c# and c and am considering turning that into a side hustle and possibly make a course.
