How about a biography of someone you knew but isn’t famous? I read the short “story” that Annie Ernaux wrote about her mother. I guess like with the case of JK Rowling she got away with it because she had a very long list of highly acclaimed books. But that seemed doable to me. Maybe I go and write it anyway and then self publish it?

This is good advice. Breaking in with a conventional novel is hard enough, let alone an unconventional one.
