I don't know how valuable they are in the marketplace, but the two certifications I've done -- Java and AWS -- both taught me a lot, and I was glad to have done them, I listed them in places, I felt more confident in interviews and on the job, and I was better in interviews and on the job.
I passed both on the first attempt, barely, and I would have been _pissed_ if I failed either, and that might have made me feel very differently about them, and certifications in general.
So, don't know about the particular certs you mention, but I do think certs are generally valuable, possibly very valuable.
That said, my recent interviewing experience (still ongoing!) suggests that papers -- whether from degrees or certs -- are nearly worthless. You have to be good enough to pass the human interviews, and if you're willing, the homework assignments and/or online coding tests/leetcodes/hackerranks/etc.
