Can nrf52840 work with ESP32 in Bluetooth low energy application?

I want to create a Bluetooth LE application, one peripheral and multiple (2- 5) centrals.For centrals I will use nrf52840 boards, but for peripheral, I was thinking of using ESP32 because I want to use it as a gateway to the cloud.

But my questions are

  1. First is it possible for nrf52840 to work with ESP32? (It seems like ESP32 uses Bluetooth V4.2)
  2. If yes are there any limitations? can the range be affected,comparing if I would have used nrf52 on both ends?

    No, both devices need to support BLE 5.0 in order to communicate using Coded PHY (Long Range). What kind of environment are these devices going to operate in (as in, are there a lot of Bluetooth activity or none at all)? Will they be in the line of sight of each other, or will there be physical walls between them?

    Best regards,
