Wondering if there was a way to run multiple SDR drivers (RTLdavis and SDR) using one instance of Weewx?

Perhaps its semantics but one WeeWX instance can only run one driver. The common way around this limitation is to run the second 'driver' as a service and augment packets/records as applicable. This requires one of the drivers to have been written to run as a service - not that difficult, most of the underlying code remains the same it is just really the interface to WeeWX that is different. Of course this ignores any issues associated with multiple SDR hardware devices.

And of course the other approach is to run two instances of WeeWX, not that difficult.

Thanks for the suggestions. Going to use the RTLDavis as the driver for Weewx. As for the additional 433MHz sensors I have , RTL_433 now has a mqtt option in which I could use. This should give me plenty of options, which data goes where.
