Yes, I mount the same home partition (actually the separate disk) on both.
And it still has some configuration files from a pre-Gentoo era :)
as it has been used for Ubuntu 10 years ago.

A separate partition with rarely used virtual machines is also mounted
into a user directory. Also a common swap. ESP partition also exists
but I never mounted it on old Gentoo and recently disabled it from
mounting into a new one as well (after realized that it is not needed at all :).
