I have experimented with various "baby double" configurations and have decided that it is best to have a rec regulator and a rec tank for rec dives. Simpler, lighter, cheaper, less fiddly. This is especially true once you do more than a couple of dives between runs to the compressor.
A twinset for a reef bimble is just extra gear and clutter and complexity with no practical safety advantage especially if you fap around with wimpy transfills and end up starting a dive with less air than you otherwise would.
If you're on a dive where you really need redundant air you probably need more than two LP50s of it.
I get it that in principle you can have a single pair of regs for all dives but in my experience that makes everything else harder and it isn't worth it.
