I am a prospective student for a CS degree bound to begin this autumn and I really cannot see myself as a Software Engineer (or the likes) without pursuing such a degree. Yes, a bootcamp or studying by myself could prove cheaper or more time-efficient, but, as you said, I really think that understanding mathematics and the way that things work "under the hood" is crucial in being a brilliant developer. However, I should admit that such a degree is not always the best option for everyone, but learning about computer science is as important as learning how to code, and any developer who wants to improve his skills should learn about it, as you said.
I am glad that graduates share that thought.
With that mentality i think you would be the perfect CS candidate!
If you are someone who wants to learn how things work, how to think logically and how to solve big difficult problems without loosing a lot of time, thats for you, even if you are self-taught you can be an awesome developer (sometimes companies want to see the diploma but if you are interested in learning but you can't/don't want to go to the university there are lots of courses out there).
Let me share a couple of really good git repos for CS Subjects without getting into Uni!
*CS Subjects
*CS books
