Tips for increasing your light level (Destiny)
I did all of the adventures and lost sectors as I did the campaign. I was level 20 by the second level on Nessus. I finished the campaign around 240 and by the time I picked up my rewards I was 260.
I don't think you necessarily have to hold off the other stuff until you finish the campaign, and I actually enjoyed doing it all during the journey. It made the campaign feel more epic.
