You should know platform capabilities and limits in detail, be able to configure advanced flows and other declarative platform tools, etc. But writing code is rarely done by solution architects.

Agree with the above and I will also say "it depends". In the sense that, there are roles out there which people hire for that require it.
I personally feel, when it comes to Salesforce, on one hand you don't need it - mock what the code will do in Flow and get a real dev to write it - but also, there are so many code examples and ChatGPT that, if you really want some PoC-quality code, an SA should be able to piece that together.

I have Advanced Admin too because Salesforce Proserv made me get it when I was there lol. The topics are useful. But they are things either covered by other certs, or stuff you can look up at any time as a real admin... They should call it "Admin 2" because "Advanced" Admin is really the set of skills covered by the Application Architect designation.
Also "System Architect" should really be "Platform Architect" and "CTA" should be like, "Distinguished Salesforce Architect". But they didn't ask me!
You don’t necessarily need to code, but you should know when to use code. You should know what shitty code looks like, e.g. the devs put logic into an Apex trigger.
I have 9 certifications and a lot of industry, and consulting experience. I've never coded, beyond some sql, and have found a lot of success as Solution Architect.
