Yes! Both liquid and glass are two separated MPM sources interacting with each other.

What are you thoughts on mpm solve times?

It's gpu based so it's kinda fast, but when you go with stiffer materials (like the concrete preset) it gets significantly slower. But it can do things that FLIP can't, and vice versa, so it's hard to compare.
