Lore supports it. Most of the miqo'te you will see in cities are either living there as citizens, or more importantly, a lot of them are even enlisted in various crews of sorts. They don't live a tribal life. They have a job, and probably a place to live in the city as well.
It is even more anchored in lore since there is the whole deal of conflict between Keepers integrating in gridanian cities vs the tribal ones living outside.Â
Then you can even imagine a blend between the two. Tribal miqo'te living in a tribe, but in a tribe not sufficiently isolated anymore to keep its business out of cities. You can perfectly imagine a tribe living as a tribe outside, but sending some of its members not to hunt/fish/whatever tribal you have, but to trade, work in the city, profit from its riches, etc.
I don't think there is a sealed wall between both.
