Of course.  Local corrections are better than wide are corrections.
But some GNSS receivers consider them equal when turning on DGPS
status bit.

Good luck with that.  My NEO-M8T getting RTCM2 corrections from
a station 2 miles away gets maybe a CEP(50) of maybe 3 meters.  I guess
I need to run a gpsprof on that.

10 to 15 mins is considered the minimum.  Getting better up to about
24 hours of data.  There are services that will post process moving
data, at less precision.  That is essentially the same as RTK.

All GNSS receivers do better with better sky views and better signals.

No reason your base should not have a great sky view and signals.

The main problem on a rover will be multipath, which is why "survey
grade" receivers have the choke ring or ground plane.  The aluminum
disk from an old 3.5 hard drive, placed directly under your antenna,
will help a bit.

I don't see much improvement with expnsive equipment over a ZED-M9P.
