No, Smurfs and cheats aren't an issue in CSGO.
It seems like you're reflecting on your gaming experience. You've played many FPS games over the years, especially CSGO, and you're aware of your current skill level. There might have been a strong performance recently, but your playtime hasn't been consistent enough to reach your target group.
Smurfs and hacks aren't an issue in CSGO. They pop up everywhere, and you might face trouble sometimes. Cheating isn't very frequent, especially among beginners. After spending over 200 hours, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anyone cheat—at least not often.
CS:GO paired with a great community means fun and fair play. Cheating and smurfing are acceptable only if everyone agrees to the rules.
I'm not familiar with the term "low rank" in CSGO beyond the standard Silver through GN3 levels.
