Dating 6 months, now we're talking engagement - is it too soon?

I'm wondering if it's too fast to get engaged to my boyfriend of 6 months. We love each other very much and are on the same page about everything, but I also recognize that I've known this man for less than half a year so that gives me some pause as well. I know there are stories of people meeting, falling in love, and getting married super quickly and it all working out for them, but I also know that people often ignore possible red flags early in dating. So I'm wondering what side of the spectrum I fall into.

Some context...I'm 38F and my boyfriend is 40M. We met at trivia one night at a local bar in our neighborhood. We fell for each other right away and have been dating ever since. We've talked about all the big things (religion, politics, values, family planning, finances, etc) and are completely aligned on everything. We've also met each other's friends and families and everyone gets along great. Since we're both in our late 30s (well him early 40s) and we want to have kids someday, we know we can't wait forever to start doing that. We have acknowledged that we fell in love quickly but also don't have rose colored glasses on and know that we'll have bumps along the way. We've also discussed getting into couples counseling and continuing to be self-aware about issues that could arise as we get to know each other more. We're both really committed to talking through issues, having healthy communication, and making the other one feel safe and secure.

Lately we've been discussing our timelines for moving in together, getting married, and having kids. The other night I asked him when he thought we might get married and he replied "this year." And I was like, "this year?! It's already April!" and he said well let's move in together this year and get married early 2025. The crazy thing is it doesn't seem crazy to me. I want to marry this man so badly. Am I rushing into things? What other things should I consider before we get engaged? Any success stories from marrying someone in less than a year? Or horror stories? So far my friends are split on the issue. One says "when you know you know" and the other says maybe I should slow down and just keep getting to know each other.

TLDR: Should my boyfriend and I get engaged after only knowing each other 6 months or should we slow our roll a bit?
