I disagree you can do that without much time investment. The time investment is in learning, not executing.
If you're a junior by definition you don't understand how to operate outside of code very well or at all, and you are still learning about operating in code.
Trying to learn multiple skills at the same time is always tricky. Most people struggle to get good at one thing at a time, let alone multiple.
Unless you are already becoming a more independent coder (I.e. 1-2 steps behind this point), stacking non-coding skills on top of that seems like a bad decision unless you are a very quick learner and can juggle multiple new skills.
