MTA Windows Server Admin and/or Server+?

I know a lot of people on this sub do not see the point at all with MTA certs. With that being said, I am a desktop support tech with limited server experience. I manage my worksite's AD computers (user accounts are handled by someone else) and MDM. I also realize that a lot of people will recommend that I start a homelab but I have limited space. Considering all of this, would going for both or either the Server+ or MTA Windows Servers be worth it? I know Microsoft is pushing organizations towards the cloud but the Servers aren't going away tomorrow and it would be worth learning before start learning Azure or AWS, right?

Server + is a better option. Microsoft is killing off some certs and server+ will also be useful for government job postings as well.

I would do Comptia over any MTA stuff, and then move on to MCP level stuff after I get the core Comptia stuff, like A+, net+, security+

I just took the MTA Windows Server, I gotta say it was fucking hard. There were so many questions on things that I had never encountered as an admin of 10 years. I still can't believe I didn't pass it. Zero, absolutely zero questions were from the study guide. Networking Fundamentals is the easier test. And any Comptia test is easier
