Probably, for shoulders you can try pike pushups or handstand pushups.
Push ups train the front delts hard enough

Yeah, it's enough. I got a good physique from mainly doing pull-ups after a year of working out and I never did any bench/deadlifts/squats during that period. The only area that was kinda supbar in comparison to the rest were my pecs.

I believe being 5’9 also helps with such a physique @OldVirgin @subhuman incel

As long as you progressive overload with added weight, then yeah. You won't have David Laid's size, but your arms will be bigger than 80% of men and defined/vascular

one example is David Goggins, he does thousands of push-ups and pull-ups every week along with running 100+ miles

Absolutely enough. If you can do 30 pull ups you'll be in "what foids want" mode for sure. And you've also got one-arm progressions if you want to keep going.
My workout is entirely calisthenics now with just a couple light isolation moves with dumbell for the show muscles - lateral delt and bicep.
