Logically it should be perfectly fine to install authenticator app on a personal device, if that suits the user. 2FA adds security to the password, but the password itself is not meant to be known by anyone else, including any other employee or any other company owned device.

Also, you can enroll mobile devices to Intune and have the authenticator app installed before the employee receives it.
