The question is. Is it possible to connect two pairs of TVS headphones via BT to a laptop with Ubuntu and get sound from both pairs? In Windows out of the box it's definitely impossible.

Have you tried fiddling with the HDAJackRetask utility from the alsa-tools-gui package?
sudo apt install alsa-tools-gui

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't seem to be possible. That's where exactly you can in the poppy, but there you need the presence of bluetooth 5.1.

pulseaudio can create a virtual simultaneous output device - and sound will be output there, simultaneously to 2 or more different physical devices. This seems to have been done not so long ago, not more than a year ago. Previously, on a computer, I output either to the built-in audio or to a TV via hdmi, but now I have set this output by default, and always outputs to both at once. BT did not try, I suspect that the pulse will cope.
Only now... I don't have Ubuntu, but Mageia 7...
