I don't have as much experience as you but I believe in learning the theory and fundamentals really well. Those won't change. There is so much happening in machine learning and deep learning, how do you plan on keeping up?

You won't always be up to date, but you can make a good effort. It'll make you an absolute pleasure to work with, and you'll inevitably be a power player on any team you're on.

That said, I don't think it'll help you in the job market itself, and that's how the best raises come about. All you need to have as "fancy" approaches are one or two you can explain to a layperson. If even that. And experience in a relevant stack, which doesn't really make sense to diversify if your particular one is one of the popular ones. E.g. AWS/Azure, python, spark.
