I think its safe to say I'm looking to see if this field is something I'd be interested in pursuing deeper, and get a feel for the types of problems that might or might not put bread on the table should I go further. I have no idea if I would or would not be better served by a traditional CS background in this case, so part of this is to find out if that is or is not the case.

If I understand correctly, your main interest is in finding ways to up your game when it comes to placing yourself professionally? In that case it's very difficult to go wrong with acquiring a traditional CS background. There is really nothing you can do with computers that will not benefit from a CS background, including anything that may have to do with deep learning etc. On the other hand, learing about deep learning will only help you when it comes to working with deep learning. So, regardless of whether getting into deep learning may help "put bread on the table", getting a well-rounded CS education, certainly will.
