Just beginning to do homework
Considering going to Alaska Summer of '22 and looking at tour/rally packages and if better to do trip on our own, or not at all. We are from East Coast so budgeting 2-3 weeks to drive out and back and...

Being an almost (except for 10 years in Ewe-stun) lifelong Alaskan, I'd second what MorSnow said: doing the trip on your own opens up lots of possibilities that simply aren't there with a caravan. Perhaps a silly example but in SC Alaska, halibut fishing is typically closed to charter fishing on Tuesdays / Wednesdays (although only Wed this year). What if your group is in Seward on Wednesday and you want to go halibut fishing? No-go.
Can't really comment on the travel time: I think 2 weeks is long enough to drive to Alaska from Philly but probably not long enough to enjoy the sights in the Rocky Mountain states, BC, YT or other places along the way. While the Rocky Mountain states will "always" be there, there's some spectacular spots in Canada that should not be shortchanged.
