The worst that can happen is that if your instance admin decides to ban Threads and you want to federate with Threads, you’ll have to switch instances.

Honestly, the lack of cross-instance account portability is one of the major issues that I think the Fediverse has today.

I'd rather have some sort of public-private key system to permit for moving across instances and being able to associate accounts.

between Mastodon instances it's quite easy and painless. everything else is kind of a mess.

that would be very useful and a fairly good solution.
