Music is a gift: growing up in a poor home, I regretted never having the ability to play piano. As a professional musician, that lack haunted me...my understanding of chords and progressions I felt always reduced my ability.
.
I no longer play professionally, but have an active life playing Broadway shows, so having to double sax, clarinet, flute and oboe...it is richly rewarding to play those instruments (and get paid).
Playing with others is definitely a plus: and playing piano does not preclude your son from participating in that highly social aspect of music; my own 23 year old son plays keyboards in a local rock band.
The bigger and more important question is what does your son want? If he says "both", encourage and support him. If he says "oboe"...encourage and support him. If he says "both"...encourage and support him.
