The Doctor being a big deal that everyone’s heard of and is afraid of is an interesting idea that Steven Moffat brings to the show. Because he’s been on tv for 45+ years at that point and become a cultural icon so I can see why Moffat wants to reflect that in-universe. And with everything we’ve seen him do it makes sense, and if he’s bigger then the mystery around him is bigger too. Plus Moffat ups the scale from global threats to universal threats so practically he needs a bigger hero to deal with that. And to his credit, Moffat does really explore that idea, he doesn’t just dump it there and leave it - that’s why A Good Man Goes To War happens. But it’s like from then on Moffat’s trying to undo that change - to sort of reset and restart. He has all information of him erased and the Daleks forget him, etc. But it also never actually works. Particularly Eleven, but also Twelve are still ‘big deal’ Doctors it seems to me. I think that Moffat’s seen that his reputation needs to die down for the show to go on because a big legendary epic hero needs a big legendary epic ending but Moffat doesn’t want to write a Doctor that’s small scale again, because The Doctor's his hero and he wants to show that. And I think The Doctor Falls is that big epic finale for the legendary Doctor.
Thirteen is the actual reset, because Chris Chibnall is doing smaller scale storytelling again with a Doctor none of the characters have ever heard of when she arrives. There are two exceptions I noticed. Firstly, The Tsuranga Conundrum: Where she’s got a chapter in the Book of Celibrants but she goes nah not me and it gets brushed off as a joke, even if she does clarify it was 'actually more a volume'. It’s almost like Chibnall through Thirteen going yes that was the Doctor but we're not doing that anymore. And then in Resolution: “Aw mate, I’m the Doctor. Ring any bells?” Here though, it's used to really cement how personal it is between her and the Daleks. It’s so personal even a Doctor nobody else in the universe knows or recognises makes a Dalek terrified.
So yeah I think Chibnall has done what Moffat thought he should head towards but didn’t really want to. This makes Moffat’s era in a way the ‘epic Doctor’ story in completion. RTD emphasised the 'Time Lord' as the thing about the Doctor's identity to inspire awe when he needed a bit of shock and awe in the confrontations. For Moffat, the name 'Doctor' was a far bigger deal on its own.
