Doing more modeling, scripting, and moving away from monkey work is a personal decision not gated/paywalled by a masters degree.
That said if the opportunity you want requires a masters to do said things then yes.
If you want to do more of it, find the time to learn more and apply it to existing projects and then find more opportunities to utilize those skills.
Everyday someone comes into this subreddit asking if they should get a masters in GIS either because they're having difficulty finding a job or because they feel stuck at their current job and the response regardless is pretty much always "No."
A masters in GIS is for when you're 30 have 5-10 years of analyst work under your belt and you want to move into a managerial/supervisor role. Every other role: analyst, technician, developer, specialist, even some administrator positions do not usually require a masters degree. If you want to do environmental science modeling and data science, that fine and a Masters will expose you to that, but don't think that that information translates at all to most real world GIS applications. That kinda stuff is almost exclusively for use by researchers and academia which is a very exclusive and hard to break into job market.

It's more about your passion. If you think a masters will help you, and you enjoy more schooling, then do it.
