You don't need to swing totally in either direction. Some people might enjoy and be able to attempt painting the Mona Lisa off the bat but some people learn better and are more confident if they can paint by the numbers first.
Everyone can understand music theory as long as they can hear the notes regardless of the instrument. I would actually probably prefer learning music theory on the piano first because it's easier and more logical seeing the roots and chords first and then transfer over that to the guitar.
I know I am definitely not confident jamming with anyone but I don't have much experience in that.
