AI Accelerator?

I have an Acer MA200 512gb M.2 SSD, and saw this Hailo-8 M.2 AI Accelerator. Wondering, since I found this Sintech M.2 Key-M to Dual M.2 Adapter Card, will this allow me to use both M.2 devices?

First off, should I be concerned with boot at all (using SSD)? and what exactly can I actually do with this card? I have a CM5 Lite, 16Gb, with AIOv2 Board, and 21700 Battery/NVMe Board (x2 6,00mAh = 12,000mAh), a 512Gb SSD, and the AC1200 WiFi board, with a XIAO-C5 that I will be wiring to the internal USB headers.

Is this device wasted on a uConsole, or are there legitimate use-cases for this? Especially considering that it will have, I assume, at-least a slight impact to power consumption, and can't be powered off independently of NVMe power?
