I recently noticed these fig suckers growing out of a stump at my new place in the PNW. Would I be ok to let them grow as is (It’s a good location with full sun) or try to turn them into cuttings and plant them elsewhere?

Figs are incredibly resilient. If you want to have a tree there, let the suckers go for a season, then chose your favorite and prune back all but one! Then, keep removing new suckers to funnel all of the growth into the chosen trunk.
I like to braid three of the healthiest ones and cut back the rest.
