One of the sources provided was Force and Destiny, which isn't Legends canon. The other did not establish your position at all.
The premise of the ROT wasn't merely to wait for a single individual, it was to both build power (which including things such as growing a network of spies and developing proficiencies in skills such as assassination and manipulation) and weaken and destabilize the Republic/Jedi (by, for example, putting schemes in place that would pay dividends decades later), and essentially to create the conditions that would enable them to achieve their goal. You're massively simplifying it if you wish to claim that it was just about waiting for a certain individual, and that the work they did solely contributed to making each new generation of Sith more powerful in the Force.
