You can improve output by 10% by replacing that one bamboo with sugarcane. Other than that, just tile the design.
youtube comment section says bamboo can increase output because they grow the fastest in Java, is it true?
It won't change the rate the sugarcane grows, it will only affect how frequently the pistons harvest whatever there is.
It's more expensive in terms of blocks used, but you can get rid of the bamboo entirely and set up an observer at the grow limit for every sugarcane you have. When one reaches maximum height, it triggers the entire row and harvests a larger amount at once, albeit less frequently.
Or you can even go for more efficiency and have each sugarcane on its own closed observer/piston circuit, but that takes up more space.
Other than that, there is unfortunately no way to speed up sugarcane growth, as others said. Best option if you're looking for more is to just scale up. Make another one, or two, or three, until you get as much sugarcane production as you're looking for.
