Sorry, I am a bit late to the game here, but I am also a software engineer that started his career with no degree and wanted to add my cents..
and you do you of course, but for your career, I certainly think there is a good value add to have a computer science bachelor. It can make a difference in multiple ways, from impressions to HR point-based systems. However, IMO, any other bachelor's degree won't help your career as a software engineer, besides maybe a management master's if you move to management in the future.
If it's only about personal goals, many options, it started this way for me too; I kind of sense there was a bit more behind the question! It's a lot of effort and money, especially if you get a bachelor's in an unrelated field; people won't look at you differently, so be sure it's what you want!
