I suggest your TS is moderately valuable, and certs are only a slight mention at best.

I've met multiple interviewers who said if you know the material, you wouldn't bother with a certificate... For them a cert is an anti-signal for competence in getting a job!

That said, I'm now working on completing Terraform cert. I know the material well, but missed a question in an interview. Investing time/energy in fleshing out my knowledge for the cert will be helpful, even if I don't mention _having_ the cert at all.
