Why you need phtml, You can directly call static block. You can use below code in:

[VENDOR_NAME]/[THEME_NAME]/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

<referenceContainer name="product.info.main">
    <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="myPromo" after="-">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">category-block-1</argument>
        </arguments>
    </block>
</referenceContainer>

Hope above will Help!

You don't need to call Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View in layout file better way to call any template file is to call Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template

Another way is to call the static block directly in below file:

app/design/frontend/Your_vendor/your_theme_name/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/details.phtml

Only the block named "content" has an "auto render" feature so you want to call <?php echo $block->getChildHtml('product.block'); ?> inside /[VENDOR_NAME]/[THEME_NAME]/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/details.phtml

PS: You probably don't need to load the class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View" again so better to use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
