I have some projects already developed on IDF 4.4, but now I have a new one and I want to use 5.0. Is there any way to use two different IDF versions with Visual Code extension?

Yes, you want to use VSC portable.

After you do this, and install Espressif's extension, Click on advanced and install the esp stuff to another location.

Using Espressif docker versions are much easier and cleaner.

And VS Code supports developing inside a container
