Depending on on the market at the time you should be OK.
Modular will cost less - and with the correct schools you’ll get the same quality of training.
Don't sweat it.
I am 53, have ATPL theory (modular, then IR, CPL, MEP-IR), just finished FI(A), have had 2 Ready-Entry interviews (not flag carriers, but like, whatever), passed both, doing SIM checks end of next month, and turned down 3 offers from SET/MET organizations. What happens in a year or so to the market is difficult to predict, but it should be still worth it.
