I feel like the dragon parable correctly shows, if anything, negative progress being made towards dealing with the dragon, until suddenly, it is dealt with. I suppose one difference is that the anti-dragon projectile seems so much more achievable and imaginable than a cure for aging.

Right; literally having a “magic bullet” solve the problem of the story, even if it takes a lot of development, is another flaw of the story.
