Yes, as a several-year fedi user I don't see anything wrong per se with having and using both. (I never got into twitter so I personally don't.) The most important thing to remember is that it is specifically not Twitter, and you'll be disappointed if you try to bring the exact same kind of interactions you might have had on Twitter. Every instance has its own themes and inside jokes that you can get to know and become part of. It's designed to be more about forming relationships and community than getting lots of likes and followers.
It's possible to use a bot to crosspost your tweets onto a fedi account. Hardcore fedi fans tend to frown on it because it's a very arms-length way to interact with people on the platform, but a lot of people do it and I've even followed a few. If you're considering using a crosspost bot make sure your instance's rules allow them; different instances have different policies about that kind of thing.
As far as Musk goes, I have no doubt he will try to improve Twitter according to his vision of improvement, which not every user will agree with. We've already seen similar situations with Tumblr's policy changes a few years back leading to a wave of new users across the fediverse. Eventually some people go back/elsewhere and some stick around and become a part of these communities. Welcome to the fediverse!
