Only if you go after run of the mill coding jobs after your phd, in which case why bother at all. When applying for a postdoc, you'll very much want to bury that part of your work.
Plenty of high-paying quantitative jobs requires such a degree and experience. The majority of phd’s don’t go on to support their family with a tenure-track academic salary.
Or you could be applying for a HPC research job in one of the countless non-university setting that also does that sort of thing. Then having both a relevant PhD and some relevant hands on experience will be extremely helpful.
