Is not Sechel point about learning “too much” achronim similar to the point made by the chayei adom in his hakdamah? (though I hope he knows who that is)
There are 2 aspects to learning
1) learning to fulfil the mitzvah. which can be accomplished with any learning (and I presume chassidus)
2) and learning to know what to do. which requires halachic knowledge
The Chayai adom laments those that “only” have 3 hours a day to learn and focus on gemarrah and remain halachic am haratzim
Or as a LOR once lamented to me “50% of sheilos asked to me are found straight in the kitzur”
So a lubavitcher with a seder in shulchan aruch Harav (or kitzur) would be ahead of any (only) daf yomi litvak in the eyes of the chayei adom
