Never too late. The only thing between you and success is yourself.
If you're interested in software development and enjoy it it can be very rewarding, I'm of a mind that it, like most engineering roles, requires passion ...or maybe better said, simply wanting to know. There is plenty of demand across many industries, being specialized and staying close to the product make a difference.
The other options you're looking out sound viable too, I think the best one is likely the one that interests you the most, concerns about AI causing layoffs or AA positions going away are overblown, when technology and roles change you can ride the wave or it can ride you, just keep swimming. Pick your direction first, then step on the pedal.
