Most times the progress is slow and other times it is glacier slow. Still, it’s progress.
Yes, it can be frustrating at times. H is living at home and you see him and his journey, or a bit of it, more often than others may in their situations. That is going to produce some feelings. Temporary feelings. Let ‘em pass. Gal. Stand for you.
Two years, and agree with you, XH is not happy. Friends, Mom, brother, Dad, and even his seldom visited uncle all indicate that external plateau that you see. Living in his bedroom, no social media and so on. Depression sounding, yes? Hard to know/see what is transpiring internally within H; what progress is occurring.
Perhaps running is winding down and depression is starting to settle in. Perhaps off and on.

Why are you on his plateau?
Now, don’t go throwing in the towel. It’s just stepping away from his path and his moving slowly.
By the way, I see you doing just that most of the time. This reflection and writing down the past two years although good has influenced your feelings. From my experience, it is also challenging your beliefs and values. A very good and necessary step along one’s path.
Seek your beliefs. Strengthen those you like, those that serve you. Alter or discard those that don’t. As you said, continue GAL, continue your journey.
I was quite serious when I stated you are living your life wonderfully. I do hope you believe as well.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
Let ‘em pass. Gal. Stand for you.
