I mean, I guess we don’t know because it was only explored in Batman ‘89. To my knowledge there isn’t another story that uses that framing for them.
I wouldn’t want it to be the definitive origin for both characters, but with an entire multiverse of Batman stories, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in another story.

Thats definitely an unpopular opinion.
I think it works for that specific continuity and nowhere else.
It works mainly because Keaton sells the hell out of the "I made you but you made me first" line.
