Really, you'll get proficient in no time. The trick is to go all in with touch typing, no hint and peck!
When I was in my late 20s I spent one low-activity work week transitioning to Dvorak. I have used it for 20+ years now (although it's a bitch to get working on subpar OS'es).
You can maintain both skills, but I chose to let my qwerty skills fade - now I only use it on mobile (because, I loathe typing on glass and so swipe whenever I can - and swiping is hilariously useless with Dvorak because it's so well laid out).
AnySoftKeyboard on Android has dvorak.
I get around OS support by having the keyboard itself output dvorak. I use an ergodox but any QMK or ZMK keyboard can do this.
That was a gamechanger from before with multiple language setups that was always a PITA.
I use dvorak on touchscreen because you get way more chains of left and right thumb alternating.
