Take a look at Intervals.icu - it pulls data from your rides and gives you an estimated FTP without doing a ramp test. Also tracks your fitness. It's a cool site.
But still, do a ramp test.

Which plan are you doing?
I found that the 4w ftp booster was quite effective, 8% bump in FTP in 4 weeks. Bumped up the FTP manually part way through
Ramp test at the start and replaced the final 20 minute test with a ramp test.There’s a zwift ramp test that starts at 100w and goes up by 20w per minute?

The training plan that I'm following on zwift feels a bit rubbish - I suspect that it's due to my stated FTP being too low - most of the workouts feel pointlessly easy, and even the ones with big efforts don't have me feeling that I've done much.
Ramp test then?
The zwift test(s) all have you starting at 90% FTP and incrementing by 10% each time - is there any reason not to just do that one?
