Yeah, that's exactly how I've envisioned things. Sticking to yourself is the most important thing, not letting yourself be exploited, recording and writing what you want to record and write.
I'd settle into a coffin knowing that I've at least got some published material that is all me, even if it didn't make a splash. Nick Drake wasn't famous until well after he died, his entire discography was re-published hundreds of times and he was labelled the best folk guitarist in history. Dude never played a single live show in his 27 year life (27 club, I know). I mean, getting just a little bit of satisfaction out of having a finished piece of work is enough, you know? Who gives a fuck about other people, fame is a bonus in my opinion.
Even if you are a P.E. teacher, it's still a chance to breed greatness. Best you could get out of that is have one of your pupils go on to be a massive quarterback and you can drink in bars and say "I taught that guy..."
