These are all skills taught in standard computer science programs. Granted, some are electives, like high-level stats. But even back in 2010, data science electives were available to fill the gaps. I took three DS&E classes in college with projects that were end-to-end platforms, where you'd have to collect, clean, and analyze the data, then build, test, and deploy models from it.

I would certainly hope that college courses are even more comprehensive after 10 years and an explosion in interest for the field.

Also, much like being a full stack developer, a full stack data engineer doesn't need to know everything at a master level. But that you can at least handle tasks at most points in the chain.
