Hi, I’m planning to move my production web app from a Cpanel hosting to a DO droplet + Laravel forge. However, I didn’t consider there are a few existing email accounts in use for my app’s domain. In Cpanel, email accounts were pretty easy to setup/manage.
Is there any way that I can keep the Cpanel email functionality on my old hosting, but also have my domain point to my web app in the new DO droplet?

Yes. Web and Mail utilize different DNS records so they can be easily pointed to different IP addresses. What you’ll want to do is:
Another option for email hosting would be to set up services with a provider like zoho.com who provide a free tier of service for hosted email. This will allow you to continue to offer managed mail for your domains without the associated costs.
