Yes you can go up the highest mountain and run in circles :/ that place is the easiest to xp farm
Manually grind it out or find the discord/reddit thread about what to put in the workshops every week to passively level it over a few weeks.

Just doing the quests and crafting the necessary items you unlock gets you to about Rank 4 without any effort. After that you start to need some effort, so capture 20 animals and plant all of the seeds that you can. Gather from the animals daily and gather the plants every few days. Don't need to water them because it rains.
Gathering them gives you a big chunk of experience if you didn't make the mammets do them. Building new buildings gives lots of experience as well, so build on any plots that you unlock and gather the necessary materials to do it.
You can eventually setup a workshop and make it create some items using materials you have a lot of. Although there are optimal choices, it doesn't matter that much and if you just set whatever you find, it will give you experience each day you talk to the workshop person. You need to set rest days for it and there is a button on the tool menu to see if you don't have enough materials for everything the workshop is making.
The workshop is what makes you cowries, and most of these rewards cost cowries.
In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
"We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

There is no way to "quickly" rank up, you are timegated by timers that you can't speed up in any way.
Your only option besides waiting is to grind exp by gathering on the island but even that takes a long time during which you'll be mindlessly running in circles clicking on gathering nodes.
You do need certain items/buildings made to unlock new stuff so make sure your making all your new crafts.
The quickest way to LVL would be to set up your workshop at all times and grind materials that you can make traps out of. The crafting of the traps (or food recipes for animals) also give bonus exp.

Follow the leveling guide.
Not the answer you wanted but just go at the pace designed as otherwise it'll be really rough ride. Adding to that build all the buildings, all the upgrades, and use all the garden plots (xp per node harvested), pasture slots (xp per animal gathered), granary missions, quests, and workshop slots - all these will give you really solid amounts of exp.
Grinding nodes being the most painful way to grind out levels, it works but would be like 2.0 FATE leveling / original atma farm. The way they intended you to progress is essentially the best way to level without losing your mind.
Save some cowries for unlock quests rather than buying goodies right away. If you want the limsa lighthouse right away on rank unlock then also be sure to get 3 silver from granary quests prior to its unlock. (I would check the upgrades and landmark resources prior to needing to build them so you can be ready at unlock).
Crafting gives large amounts of EXP.
Gather from your animals daily and keep growing vegetables. Upgrade the paddock and vegetable patch when available and catch more animals so you get more EXP from gathering from them.
Always have your granaries collecting materials. The expedition cost is neutral as the rare materials brought back can be sold for the cost of the expedition (if you were short on currency, which you shouldn't be) and you'll still be getting lots of other building materials in the meanwhile.
Make sure to interact with the signboards for built/upgraded buildings as you don't get the EXP until you do.
