So passion is kinda important? I’d consider the following: long term does one track afford you better wealth benefits and does that make a difference to you? Also can you get the coding itch by doing something else on the side like coaching others how to code and doing code reviews? Or doing hackathons? I know it’s not the same but I’d argue I’m not passionate about anything I do. But it pays the bills and I’m good at it. Good luck.
Honestly, no, but I would advise following your passion and heart. Life is too short to get stuck doing something that you don't really have a passion/heart for.
I have to keep reminding myself: you do not need to be passionate about your job. You can have other passions. I’m not particularly passionate about any one thing in my career (my passion is art and I don’t want to have to monetize my art so I keep it separate), so I keep finding passion in the small things and have grown a passion for helping others grow in a healthy work environment (management). All that being said, sounds like you actually know what you are passionate about and it is a potential path. Might be worth exploring to make sure you don’t regret not following it
