    Not in the least. There is no way solo drills make anything functionally harder as long as you practice the movements as you would do in reality and not like how most kung fu forms are practiced.

    And, its a linear progression, you start with slow, move to fast, move to hard, move to live play, move to hard live play, etc....

    Once you have the tech down, and can apply it in a lively manner, you do whatever you need to to make it work better. Structure, practice, application, a virtuous circle, and as individual as each fighter.

    Once you become elite, YOU know what needs work, and that's expected. The challenges may become fewer, and harder, fair enough. But the fundamental principle of training is to break down complex things into small elements, then to recombine it to a higher level.

    There are many stages and tools in training, its not static IMHO.
