I regularly ride with either one or both beet hanging down, esp when setting off. Nowt wrong with it IMO.
Because if you have both feet down you can't cover the back brake... and sometimes its useful to be able to do so when doing slow speed stuff IMHO.

But you have to learn to ride how you feel comfortable doing, so if that means both feet down as a confidence booster and that works then its all good isnt it.
