Sure. Just make sure you're not overloading the circuit. If you think it may be close, add another breaker.

Better check your code for your state, but I've doubled up on a panel for a commercial building before and passed Inspection.

Trying to sell and the buyers inspector flagged it. I assume it passed inspection at one point, but fussy buyers are fussy buyers.

It wasn’t good work. They needed to add another ground bus bar, but it is a much bigger job than simply adding a circuit. That is why they pigtailed the neutrals. If they were smarter, they would have pigtailed a few grounds and bonded that to the bar. The current normally flows through the neutral so the load on the ground is negligible if anything.

Good point in shitpost format. Will add in a secondary buss bar.

The answer is usually no. If you twist multiple neutrals together in the panel and then bond the pigtail to the ground bar most inspectors will fail the permit.
