Is it difficult to transition from SysAdmin/Server Ops to Platform Engineering?

I’m currently working as a System Admin / Server Operations Engineer. I’m interested in moving into Platform Engineering/SRE/Devops, but I often see people saying that most Platform Engineers come from a Software Development background.
Is it common for people with a traditional infrastructure/ops background to make this jump? What are the biggest hurdles? I’m comfortable with server management and networking, but I’m wondering if my lack of "pure app dev" experience will be a major blocker.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has made a similar transition or works on a platform team. What should I focus on?
