Counterintuitively, something stops being magic the moment there is a guide for it.
For example, I am a wizard because I installed linux on an old inspiron tower with no display output during boot menu, relying entirely on instinct and mysticism to navigate the nonexistent menu with precise timing.
It’s all subjective and based on your personal level of interest. From a technical standpoint the time needed is based on how fast your computer can compile everything, how fast you read and understand the instructions, and how much effort you want to put into it.
I would be doing it to learn as well. I’m pretty good with Linux, I work for Red Hat. But, I don’t get down in the weeds at all. I do mostly Ansible and OpenShift.

Does remembering my starcraft cd key count?
It is granted, Acolyte.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.
Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.
How long does it reasonably take? Just a weekend?

So yeah, a weekend could be reasonable.
One month, got it.
When I last set up LFS it took a week, but I read everything. I was doing it to better understand how Linuxes work
…that was a full week, it would have taken much longer had I had other things to do
