For a dev-PM - how do you decide how deep to go into a topic?

Outline
This situation just came up in one of our teams. We just promoted a developer to do management tasks and slowly become a technical PM.
He started going less deep into topics and tried to get more of an overview on things.
One question came up:
How do I balance development with management work?
Are there any best practices on it?
My first take was this:
Things not to do
No algorithmic work that needs deep focus for hours on end.
No critical work, which has a tight deadline.
Things to do
Pair programming under the lead of a coworker.
Smaller tickets that don’t require much time, but would not be fun for a full developer to do. Examples: I18n
