Feeling stuck as a Software Engineer

I'm a "full stack" developer who's feeling like I can't find my feet any more. Looking for jobs at the moment and it's difficult. I took a couple years off during COVID for parental leave, and it just feels like either I'm super behind or that there's too many things to be expert in nowadays and I can't keep up.

It's not enough that I can do a little Devops, now I need to be experienced in Docker, which I do know actually, and Github actions, Azure or AWS. I don't WANT to do DevOps, to me that's a whole separate job. I also need to know Tailwind, plus other UI frameworks like MUI/Shadcn, as well as keeping up with the latest vanilla CSS. Having PHP experience isn't enough because now I need expertise in Laravel. I have some Symfony (via Drupal, which is difficult to find work in now), but found out via interviewing I'm no longer up to snuff on all the latest PHP 8 developments and design patterns. Every job ad says I need 5+ years expertise in React, I have two developing in Next.js. I would actually take a Junior React position but have seen none in SEQ, plus I'm now (gasp) early 40's and I don't know if I would qualify.

I'm just going around in circles and feel like I just don't fit right in the current market. Should I move on to a Solutions Architect role or just specialise in FE or BE?
