My advice:
Add a 30 Minute cardio rowing routine to your training. You can go constant or intervals or a combination of both. Rowing is still 75% leg work, the rest will support your back, lats and bicep.
That way you'll get new stimulus in your legs while building strengh of your upper body.
Rowing and cycling go very well together, theres a lot of crossover with pro athletes if the two disciplines.
A rowing machine barely drops in value if you buy it new, got one during covid and it was a great buy so far.
Weight training for upper body isn't really a thing in pro cycling. Weight training for legs is a must. Legend says Ferrari told Armstrong that his upper body is too muscular to make it as a pro cyclist when they first met.
