They already allow married priests if they convert as a married priest from Orthodoxy. Idk if they allow it if you convert as a married minister from protestantism.

They do, or at least have done. A guy I worked with a few years ago was ordained as an Anglican minister, and then converted to Catholicism and kept his wife.

Wow. They're slowly arriving in the 16th century. Guess that counts as progress in their world.
