>Even a site reliability engineering course isn't really going to give you deep insights into what, say, Google does on a day-to-day basis.

I think this really gets to the core of the issue. There aren't many courses that will accurately reflect the actual state of the art in any field. Sometimes, graduate courses with a small scope and a relevant professor taught in person can partially address the state of the art, but an online course about "how to self driving car" is not that.

Lectures, tech talks, blogs, random experts in relevant subreddits, but yes, an online course is not going to give more than the fundamentals and some advanced, but already well understood examples.
