I'm taking my information here from what "Simplicius" has said. It still stands that Prigozhin is a 'bookkeeper' and 'event manager' having little actual combat experience himself. He's certainly appears to be a shady character that has been 'allowed' to be free from prison. Wagner itself is composed of mercenaries and recruited prisoners.
On that note, though, let’s explore a few possible options for what could actually be going on.
Prigozhin is working with AFU/SBU/CIA to backstab and destroy Russia, coordinating his actions with them.
Prigozhin is secretly working with Putin to remove the stodgily entrenched Russian command. Notice, not in a single one of his rants has Prigozhin accused Putin or so much as even mentioned his name. There’s a possibility that all this is theater to cause a “conciliatory deal” to be made which will result in the ‘stepping aside’ of Shoigu. Putin has previously “laterally promoted” (in actuality demotions) several big name siloviki in the past. For instance, Sergei Ivanov who was deputy prime minister and presidential chief of staff was “moved” to head some ‘ecological’ department. Could we see Shoigu used as a fig leaf to settle the impasse by “laterally” moving him to some other ostensibly ‘important’ (but actually irrelevant) position?
Everything is actually “as is” and whatever we see on the surface of the conflict pretty much represents what’s really happening.
Putin is not in the military and a former Soviet Intelligence.
Zelensky is a sock-puppet put into place by the DS.
Sergei Shoigu has a long history and worked his way up in a quasi-military organization. In keeping with the militarized nature of Russian civil defense, Shoigu received the rank of major general in 1993 and proceed from there to the position he has now. There's however strong criticism of Shoigu with the SMO though.
I don't know about the FSB theory. This is the first I've heard of that possibility and there isn't any previous indication it is a possibility. In addition, Putin is ex-Intelligence.
Read the bottom of your link.
He claimed he started with Wagner in 2014, not 2014.
It's been fighting in eastern Ukraine and the breakaway republics since 2014. It fights in Africa. It's fought in Syria

Putin has zero combat experience.
Zelensky has zero combat experience.
Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Minister of Defence has no combat experience.
So, I don't see why that matters.
I'll check your link out.
Another possibility that you left out is that he's working with elements in Russia like the FSB to take out Putin.
