Based on my experience last week, the short answer appears to be yes, it’s fine to have two ESTAs in two passports at the same time.
On presenting my shiny new Y passport, the standard questions (why are you here, for how long, etc), and then:
CBP: “Have you been to the US before?”
Me: “Yes.”
CBP: “When?”
Me: “Last December, on a different passport.”
CBP: “How long?”
Me: “About a week.”
This was met with silence, but stamp stamp and I was in, they didn’t even ask about the old passport (which I’d brought along just in case). Your mileage may vary.
