Can two SFMC instance be connected to a single Sales cloud?

Question

I have two SFMC instances as below,

SFMC Core tenant (with only 1 BU) -- Existing
SFMC Enterprise 2.0 -- NEW

So our SFMC Code tenant is connected to a Sales cloud instance via Marketing Cloud Connector.
I wish to connect the new SFMC instance [Enterprise 2.0] also to the same Sales cloud.
IS THIS TYPE OF configuration possible? (Tried to illustrate via diagram as below)

If, yes do you see any pro/cons!

Marketing Cloud Connect is a managed package that you install once per Sales Cloud Org. It can connect to one SFMC tenant as a whole ("standard setup") or to several BUs in one SFMC tenant individually ("SFMC Multi-Org setup").
SFMC Multi-Org does not refer to "multiple SFMC tenants", but to "Multiple connected BUs in the same tenant".
So:
Your setup is not supported. MC Connect cannot be installed twice per Sales Cloud Org to connect to two separate SFMC tenants.

Multi-Org is an Enterprise 2.0 account configuration.
Multi-org doesn’t support connections for a single business unit to multiple Sales or Service Cloud orgs, or business units of multiple Enterprise 2.0 accounts to the same org.
