Stuck in ancient tech project

I am interested in specializing in fullstack development with modern tech stack, nextjs, prisma, postgresql, shadui. My current project has over a million loc, ancient tech stack though: java struts, weblogic. Build time takes around 2 hours and running it locally is a 8 point story task everytime.

I have been trying my best to learn on the side. Have also built some projects but I need to be more fluent.

Only my debugging skills and code navigation has improved and that too has peaked.

I am now feeling stuck. Coming from office tired and then I feel guilty for not having learned on the side because I am mentally tired in office.

Can anyone suggest how they dealt with this kind of problem or if my perspective is wrong
