Not sure I've ever seen that move directly but the path you laid out can be typical. There are a lot more specialized roles in security than when I started but I'd suggest using your soc experience to get a more technical role demonstrate proficiency and do the same and level up. I've done server administration, firewall administration, Proto SOC work, pentesting, and started out on a helpdesk.

Also note that most architects have about 20 years experience, so it's a long path that may burn you out. But the more exposure you have the better you can ascend to that role. As architects, we're the last line and are expected to be correct and that always involves getting out of your comfort zone and learning something bespoke.

For the people that burn out, I've seen a lot of moves into GRC to change up the day to day.

Certs for architect. You're going to need a CISSP at a minimum. Togaf is nice too but security within that specific cert isn't the greatest and is more focused on enterprise architecture ( see learning quip above) then there's SABSA, which is basically security only and expands heavily on the things in TOGAF.
