I feel like if I wore that to a software engineering interview I’d run the risk of being judged as just not really getting the culture.

As I get older I found the nicer fabrics and older style more fitting.
The ritual of steaming, prepping while listening to podcast is great.
The places that have been the least strict about supposedly "professional" things like dress code, hours worked (etc.) have all been the most professional in terms of quality of work and mutual respect.
From that perspective, dressing more formally can be considered a signal of having the wrong priorities.
That said, while I don't think I would necessarily wear a suit to work, I want to use my dress-code freedom to dress up a bit, in a way that I think looks flattering.
Paradoxically, I would maybe shy away from the suit during the interview, but switch to it once you've been hired and established your credibility.
If they can't appreciate the effort. That's on them.
I have a bunch of nice clothes, life is too short to limit myself to just one style. Not extravagant of.course.
