I do not understand your question ? Are there two differemt questions ?
There is nothing bad about PMP and yes, I use it after my name on resume and email signature. Saving Changes...
It depends on the situation and the audience. Regardless, I never use all of the acronyms available to me. It starts to look pretentious or conceited. For example, what would you think if someone used the following email signature:
John Doe MBA, PMP, PgMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, CSPO, CTT+
There's nothing wrong with picking one or two, but they start to lose meaning, especially if you have more acronyms than letters in your name.

Fully agree. Plus, it may become redundant. If someone is a PgM, most likely is also a PMP.
In my case, I earned a PhD and a PMP, but I use PMP because I work as a project manager in fields that are not related to my PhD.

Using an alphabet soup like that also makes you really hard to find on LinkedIn.
