I tend to do a lot of actual work, talk only "cut to the chase" points, and I hate the lengthy useless talking and no structure type of person. Very delivery focused. Will I ever be successful?

Consulting is all about selling, not delivery. If you cannot sell, it does not matter how good you are at delivering.
So...draw your own conclusions.

No, not if you"hate" certain types of personalities.

I don't think anyone likes lengthy and unstructured conversations.

You can absolutely appropriately "sell" yourself and your work, and make appropriate social chitchat, without embracing the long winded say nothing no accountability vortex. You absolutely have to do the former, but don't confuse it with the latter.

I think it's been helpful in my career, as people know that I won't waste their time.

Successful at what? Delivery, yes. Sales, maybe not. So your options are SME route in consulting, which could be fine, or exit to industry, where they primarily care about getting stuff done.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
