How about your peers? try: bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo
shows a blank list.  I see continual but slow progress, does this indicate a problem that the list is blank.
That outputs your list of peers, zero means that you're not connected to any Bitcoin node.
That must be the issue, low to zero peer means slow IBD since there's no node to download the blockchain from.

You must check your system for anything that blocks connection to Bitcoin Core.
Start with your firewall.
