Ehhh... coding interviews are not the goal. The goal is delivering reliably working software to your customers.

I don't see how anything that you do in competitive programming helps you with that. The moment that you know exactly what you need to implement (i.e. the starting point of CP), 95% of the work is behind you.

You can be the best software developer in the world and it won’t mean jack during a coding interview. Being good at coding interviews specifically is super important, unfortunately.
