Since this is just syndication I don't think arguments on the benefits of Twitter vs Mastodon are that important, it's really just what are the costs of additionally posting to Mastodon. I'm assuming those costs are basically 0 since this can be done by a bot? So I don't think there is any strong reason not to do so.
