Who got to see her live

The following is the last paragraph of https://wp.stolaf.edu/news/award-winning-composer-and-singer-meredith-monk-visits-st-olaf:

>“If Monk is seeking a place in the classical firmament, classical music has much to learn from her,” Alex Ross wrote in the The New Yorker. “She may loom even larger as the new century unfolds, and later generations will envy those who got to see her live.”

In the relative clause at the end, is it possible to use the present tense or the present perfect tense instead of the past tense as follows?

who get to see her live

who has gotten to see her live
