You'll definitely not be wasting time. Vue.js has some serious traction already. It really doesn't matter if it'll surpass React. There's plenty of space for both and it's not a winner-takes-all situation.

Besides, it's hard to predict if either will be still widely used for new projects say 5 years from now. So, becoming a one-trick (or rather one-framework) pony probably isn't the wisest path in the long run. Rather try to take in general best practices, design patterns and approaches and become someone that can work comfortably with both React and Vue.js or in fact any other new JavaScript framework that might come along.

That's a misconception a lot of outsiders make about the JavaScript community. There's not even close to one winner. It's not "WWW World Champion React vs upcoming Challenger: VueJS". There's probably about 10-20 (possibly even more!) production ready frameworks you could be using that have strong community backing and ecosystems. VueJS and React are merely approaching the pinnacle of what a full stack isomorphic framework can be. The others will follow.
