Those are awfully dangerous on their own these days.
As soon as a poorly salted hash leaks or gasp, a hash with no salt, it’s super easy to reverse those passwords now.
2FA severely reduces the danger of rainbow tables and keyloggers. The only real worry with 2FA is login replacement and interception. and passkey solves that, allbeit at the cost of complexity.
baby steps, start with getting them secure, then when most are ready start dropping the password
iron out the kinks, give all apps a chance to implement
if you only ever login with passkey and it asks you for 2fa, you can scrutinize the page more

Everybody does it differently. GitHub in particular allows multiple
If you are doing development or admin work, I would greatly advise you to pick up a Yubi Key.
My basic setup for any app/site that will allow it is two yubis and one passkey.
