Practice with the bow is never wasted

Plus... I think it makes the bass sound better.  If I dont play my dB for a few weeks it seems to stiffen up... A few hours of bow playing and it starts to sing again.  Maybe I'm imagining it because it doesn't seem very logical..but it works for me 😁

Definitely if you get the chance sign-up for a play day somewhere. The UK Amateur Orchestras FB page regularly has adverts from groups organising them - and there is a specific page as well for play days (UK Orchestra Play Days). These are ad-hoc events with no commitment beyond the day.
