Any thoughts on leaving Actuarial work? I was thinking of going the other way.. a consistent education/testing seems like it fixes the eternal new wheels and pop experts problem of software as a career.

Actuary is a great cozy career (less exciting in both good and bad ways). I recommend it if you like it. The only downside is limited geographic range.

But for me, software is a calling.

Well the majority of good software jobs are going to be geographically limited as well, unless you have the skillset and experience to break into remote work.

Yes. It's demanding, well-paid and hard to break into.

Yes. I had a talk about this in Hacker News a while back, when I was deciding on whether to go into software or become an actuary. You can do both.
