Importantly, make it an active choice. I see far too often either backend or frontend developers working on the other end, to speed things up or to simplify workflows, because they feel pressured to deliver or because the communication overhead seemingly outweighs the benefit of just doing it yourself. If you don't want to become a full-stack developer that is fine. I'd rather see the strengths of two team members used than you trying to make ends meet when that isn't your forte. If you do want to become a full-stack developer, be prepared to dive deep into a lot more than you would even as an expert in one field - figuring out how backend and frontend interact is its own specialty to educate yourself in.
And far too often I find backend developers categorically refusing to do frontend, while expecting frontend developers to do backend. Don't be that person. A good full-stack developer is more than just "kinda sorta knowing how to do that, too".
Yes good to have a feel for both areas. Nobody says that you super be super proficient in both areas but at the very least you should know something. The tech industry has become far too diverse to just hide behind a niche and let someone else pick up your slack.
