I get extremely nervous about posting things here I might want to post elsewhere, but the art thread is pretty huge and I guess I don't have anything to be ashamed of on my Kiwi account. So I'd say it's good to be careful.
For me personally, half the reason I wouldn't want people to find my other accounts is the guilt-by-association caused by being on a site with the farms' reputation. I can see why some of the autists who run around here talking about their fetishes or sperging about Mein Kampf don't want people to know who they are, but I've never said anything particularly abrasive or cringe-y here.
The other half is because this site is doxer-city. Granted, people aren't likely to do anything except prank call you and insult your appearance when you get doxed, but I think most of us would prefer to stay anonymous, anyway.
I would personally recommend that if you're going to post art here that you also have posted offsite, filter it, crop it, rotate it, etc so that people can't use it to find you. Someone wouldn't have to be a very tenacious doxer to trace unedited art back to you- all they would need to do is plug the image into a reverse google image search, and bam, you're found.
If you're going to take three things away from this, it's 1) make sure nothing you post can be traced back to your offsite accounts, and 2) never, ever piss off a seasoned or modded Kiwi, especially the ones who are good at doxing.
