Isn't the HA cloud dongle able to do both because they're on the same 2.4 gigahertz or whatever?

The dual stack firmware was deprecated because of issues, I believe.

It's still marked as experimental, not deprecated, just will likely stay that way. However, it does work with both protocols individually, and the first-use wizard asks you which dedicated firmware you would like to install:

My understanding is that you can replace the ZigBee firmware with Threads firmware if you want.

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me as well, but since I'm currently using Zigbee devices, I would need to either move them to a new hub, or get a second cloud connect, ZBT1, so that one could be dedicated for threads and the other could be dedicated to Zigbee.
