That's noble to choose open source contributions over challenges.
I personally just use the dailycodingproblem newsletter and try to implement some of them in a language I don't use daily or am learning at the moment (like Go and Rust) to get some practice and don'tt have to spend energy on thinking of stuff to do with those languages.
This helps to be prepared to contribute to open source projects which use a language that is new to me :)

Yes you're right about that, it can help you build confidence & skills especially for languages that you're using less.
