Would it be worth it to learn roux for OH if I main CFOP for 3x3?

Roux for OH if I use CFOP for 2H?

Simple answer: Yes. More people know more things about this debate, but my personal opinion is yes. It is also what I am currently doing now.

would you forget your cfop skills (like algorithms) when learning roux?

Would it be "worth it"? It purely depends on how much you care about OH. If you are serious about OH then Roux is definitely the way to go. Roux is the future of OH, and the only reason it doesn't have all the official WR's right now is because Fahmi hasn't been able to go to comps.
I would actually suggest switching to Roux for both two handed solving and OH, but that's up to you. Just bear in mind that keeping up with two methods is a lot harder.

Carter Kucala has a 7.03 in 3x3 with cfop and 12.00 in oh using roux, both top 80 in the world.
It's definitely possible to be successful while using two different methods. It's also going to take a lot of work, especially since they don't have overlapping algorithm sets (CMLL and OLL/PLL), as opposed to CFOP and ZZ (which both use PLL).

Algorithm wise, it would require similar amounts of practice from both because they don't overlap, but measuring by only quantity, it's definitely doable, take people that have learned full ZBLL. CFOP and Roux total is 120 algorithms, which should be manageable. I, however, am too lazy to learn another method just for OH lol

Question, why is roux used in OH?

No need to use F or B moves during solutions.

That isn't true. FB can have those moves as well as several CMLL algorithms. Roux does have very good ergonomics if you can do M moves but so does ZZ. Roux is very efficient, doesn't require a lot of algs (unless you want to explore ACMLL or whatever it's called) and in something like OH where you aren't turning as fast its slightly worse lookahead isn't as big of a factor.
I think the three biggest things are, low movecount, good ergonomics for most of the solve, and fluidity.
