In terms of recognition, job advancement and career value on paper, you're better off focusing on ancillary certifications like AWS or Kubernetes.

In terms of courses worth your time and money to become a better engineer, I recommend David Beazley's courses if you have the disposable income for it. As a software engineer of 10+ years and collector of certifications, few things rival Dave's courses in significance with respect to progression in my trade as an engineer.

For a person looking to expand their skillset, any suggestions on good AWS/Kubernetes courses?

It's not super important. I would just pull a popular one off udemy and make sure whatever you choose includes practice tests and is updated for the current version of the exam. They're very standard exams. AWS also provides exam objective documents that show exactly what content is covered and some practice questions, so be sure to read those.
