I'm in MA. It took 7 months from start to finish to get my Conditional Green Card back in 2016. There seems to be a backlog for the I-751, that's why they are giving out 18 month extension letters instead of 12 months. That will buy you enough time to apply for citizenship depending on how fast the processing for the I-751 goes. No, you don't need to have the 10 year card first, Demise summed it up.

So lets say this happens:
You get your conditional green card.
21 months pass you and you file I-751.
USCIS drags their feet on your I-751. You can actually file N-400 up to 90 days prior to your third anniversary of AOS even if your I-751 is still pending.

Demise summed it up nicely, that's exactly it!
