You can own more than one. You can't be the primary account holder on more than one (for the purposes of sharing digital games).

If you own two and buy games for both on separate accounts it's fine. If you're the only account holder and you want to share games you've bought with other accounts (kids account etc) on an additional system Sony doesn't allow that.

So i have my primary PS5 at home, and I'm also logged in on my brother's PS5 not as primary. Can he still play my online games? Can i download them on his primary and have him play using his account? Cos that was possible last i checked.

That's still possible

Ok thanks. I thought he meant that this wasn't possible anymore. Of course you can only have one primary, that was implemented a few years ago

Yeah, you can have only one primary PS5, you can also have a primary PS4 in addition to it, but that's it.

Nothing new about it. This is how it has been since PS4 days at least. Maybe even PS3, but I was a single user then so never had a reason to check.
