Sounds like you’re doing some interesting stuff and have a good, varied skill base to build on.

My advice would be to jump in and start working on kernel level stuff, or writing your own - IMO there’s no finer way to really “get” the low level concepts and the understanding you’ll build will really help with any other system-level stuff you do.

Not to plug, but if you were interested in getting involved in an existing project, my own toy kernel project[0] is at a point where there’s still lots of fun stuff left to do (both design- and implementation-wise) but a lot of the basic “project plumbing” and one-time machine setup stuff that people often get stuck on is already done, and I’d be glad to have the opportunity to share knowledge.
