Simple Python and shell scripts to run a fan on a Raspberry Pi using CPU temperature.

Greetings, newer Pi user here.
I'm running Linux 10 (Buster) on a Pi 3B V1.2. In Pi Configuration > Performance there's now an option to enable a fan, the GPIO and temp to trigger the fan. That would be the same (but easier) than writing the script, correct?
From my research, it seems that was added for a three wire fan (Power, Ground, Control); so if I am using standard two wire fans, I would still need to add the transistor, correct?
Second question, any problems running two 5V 0.2amp fans off of the one transistor? If so, what if I run them off of the 3.3V instead?
Excellent idea, however, the transistor is not being used most efficiently. The emitter follower configuration to handle loads dissipates more power by having a greater voltage drop between the collector and the emitter. And connecting its base directly to a RaspberryPi pin you run an extra risk in case of a burnt transistor.
You should saturate it using a configuration like the one shown here (go to "Digital Logic Transistor Switch").
This way:
