Do you retain standard qwerty staggered layout muscle memory?
I heard using colemak and stagger column makes your muscle memory confused because it is similar with staggered row qwerty.

It was slightly more difficult for me to switch back to qwerty when I was still using a traditional staggered keyboard to type workman, especially when I was still getting comfortable with workman.
I wasn't really worse at qwerty than before: I just felt extra uncomfortable with the context switching.
Now that I'm exclusively using an ortholinear keyboard to type workman, I'm back to my original comfort level typing qwerty on traditional staggered keyboards. I don't enjoy it, but I don't really think about it either. Context switching went from a mild nuisance to completely effortless.
Yes, though I use a laptop's keyboard from time to time, which will help.
I use row-stagger QWERTY, and use Dvorak on small, weird keyboards like this.
I think learning a second layout on the same keyboard would be confusing (row-staggered or otherwise).
