No, you cannot set your account as primary on both PS4 and PS5 simultaneously. Sony allows one primary designation per account, on one console at a time. You can, however, access your games and subscriptions on both consoles by signing in with your PSN account. The primary console feature is primarily for offline play and sharing benefits with other users on the console.
