SharePoint project sites vs PWA project sites

Hi Drew,
From a portfolio view, of course, I would recommend to include all active projects that have active resource engagements in Project Online to have a complete overview. So you can already exclude projects that are inactive or already closed.
Now comes the technical part:
- In Project Online, from a support perspective, all project sites need to reside in the same site collection as the PWA instance. So you might have to move your "SharePoint-based sites" first to a single site collection, if they are dispersed and you want to integrate them.
- To manage your portfolio and resource engagements, a project site is not required. But it helps if you want to aggregate risks, issues and other SharePoint data for your portfolio reports. On top, you provide your users a single entry point to find their project documentation
I hope this helps you going further.
