I think the answer to that is entirely up to you

You need to be sure you have the time and energy to give each their fair share so that no one feels "shoved aside" when the puppy comes. And a plan to manage the situation - up to and including the possibility of a need for a physically separated space for the seniors if the puppy turns out to be too rambunctious for them. You're the only one who knows whether or not you're up for all that. If you believe you are, then I'd say go for it!
