From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, a disavantage I can think of is that if your apps are in different versions, it may be messy. Also, if you share a DE between both environments, it also may become messy
Why don't you try using only one system and see what happens?
Only one system taking care of grub, pls. Grub is already a pain, don't make it even more painful. If you're going to config grub, let PopOS handles it. Only install it after Arch and everything should be fine
If it does not recognize Arch, you may wanna enable os-prober at grub conf, but that's it
If you're ok with losing all the data, it's okay to wipe out everything and let the distro install itself alone
