It's a personal choice. If you can commit the time and have a support system enabling you to do full time, I would do it full time. You honestly don't learn that much technically and getting it over with will accelerate your job hunt.
CSX is fine but it's pretty minimal compared to some more robust platforms. The best part of pre Codesmith is free workshops.
Codesmith doesn't do much paid marketing and advertising (other than Course Report) and CSX is a marketing tool to get you into the Codesmith ecosystem. Stumble on FREE CSX, join slack, meet others, go to a session, go to another session, and then you get pulled into the system.
I don't know anyone that recommends CSX as the only tool someone new should use the learn JS, I would start with a cheap Udemy course like Colt Steele.
