It's not going to harm or hinder your learning or playing skills. It can make a difference in the context of your goals. If you intend to play any music using an electric, then you should eventually start getting used to it. It's a different physical skill set & playing through an amp does require a different approach.

If you intend to mostly play acoustic, then it could be considered wasting time to work on electric. But any time you spend playing any guitar is going to help build your overall skill set.

My advice is to make time for both! :) The more you learn, the more options for music making you have available.

Hope that helps.
