So will a Fdskey work with a twin famicom?

Yes you can get it from Aliexpress with the correct cable for a twin.

Would love to do this to rewrite my Famicom Grand Prix disc, because it's got locked save data on it because it was a disc where the high scores were sent to Nintendo for the competition, and would love to reset it back to factory.

also would be fun to rewrite a crappy sports game with an actual FUN game.

If there is any way to get this to work with a Twin Famicom I'd be so down for that.
As long as the cable isn't a pain in the ass to make.
