Just want to say, I’m still struggling to beat level 2. I remember having a chance to buy a lifetime subscription in 2013 or 2014 but i was too broke to do it.
As the years have gone by, although i have lived and can speak Japanese fluenty, i never really learned how to read at a decent enough level. Seeing people here hitting level 60 makes me think, maybe its not too late to try again 10 years later and see if i can learn those damn jyoyo kanji finally
Never to late, for sure 
But If also imagine that if you’re fluent in Japanese and have lived in Japan you must know a decent number of kanji already, at least the ones you commonly see.
And if it have know a lot of vocab it should be easier for you to learn new kanji because you can associate them with vocab and readings you know.
I’d recommend paying close attention to “used in vocab” section when studying kanji.
to echo @d-hermit , it is never too late to learn anything (except for maybe quantum physics).
i’ve been here for only 2 days, and im halfway through a bachelors in japanese at university, and literally none of what ive started to learn has been taught as of yet, granted, im still only on lesson 1’s radicals, but still. mnemonics are also not encouraged, which i believe is a great way to familiarise yourself with meanings, which wanikani encourages.
but for me, i also thought it would be too late to start wanikani when i first came here, as it does start with the basic of the basics, but since my goal is relative fluency in all aspects of japanese, learning how kanji are built from radicals and how they combine to make words is something ive deemed very important.
just some words of encouragement from a beginner japanese learner 
If you’re already fluent in Japanese, maybe you’d better look into some native speaker kanji learning aid? Wanikani is great and all but in the end a lot of the things you learn here are basically there to teach english-speakers how to japanese.
I have heard good things about this graded reader for people who speak the language but do not read it.
That said, you could totally finish Wanikani, if that’s a goal unto itself for you. I know it is for me, as irrational as that may be. 
There is no way to skip the kanji that you already know on WK.
