If the advantages you're thinking of are workflow advantages of quilt
over gbp pq for how you manage the patches, then there's nothing to stop
you from continuing to manage patches with quilt, and still receiving
contributions from people who used gbp pq - they're interoperable,
as long as you configure quilt to work with debian/patches/.
If they're advantages of dh-quilt over 3.0 (quilt) while actually
building the package, then you'll have to make a decision about whether
those advantages are more important than the advantages of using a more
common package setup, because applying your patches via the 3.0 (quilt)
patch system is not compatible with applying your patches via the dh-quilt
debhelper addon: that's an either/or decision.
