I think it's better to read the docs for software you have to touch or are especially interested in rather than everything everywhere in your stack, and this is especially true if you are a beginner. Reading about what you touch makes you a better programmer, while reading about what you like makes you a happier one because your future work will often be in your area of expertise.
If you read at random it tends to send you down rabbit holes, unless you're grounded by applying your knowledge or you have the gist of the subject already. Rabbit holes are delightful if you're interested in them, not so much if you're going down them out of duty.
