I mean Dragon with a Second stage is on the cover of Rocket Propulsion Elements in the eighth edition
and a F9 Dance Floor on the ninth
that's a kind of big one already
Read "Rocket Propulsion Elements" before you even think about doing anything with liquid fuel engines.

Plus RPE's 8th and 9th editions.
Making a proper nozzle would help. However, that would require in-depth knowledge on the topic and would also require burn tests to figure out the regression rate of the propellant, etc. If you really want to get into sugar rockets, I highly recommend reading the solid motor section of Sutton-Biblarz. A PDF version of the book is available here, but if you want to buy a hardcover, look no further than this link.
To “deeply” understand electric propulsion, you may have to start with thermodynamics and electrodynamics. Then you can move on to study integrated propulsion books like:

No cause this photo is on the front of the textbook haha
Rocket flight will never be as reliable and low-risk as airline flying under current industry materials and processes, however once new processes or materials are developed I think it is possible to see a reduction in the risk, cost, and unreliability to the point where it is closer to airline standards
I mean, if you really want to learn....
