I was under the impression that since an H valve has a single burst disk for both firsts, it isn't considered redundant.
At least with a doubles set up with a manifold, if one disk fails, you can isolate that tank protecting your remaining air supply.
When I was in the OP's stage of diving, I looked at the H valve, because I wanted redundancy. It didn't provide it and I'm currently diving a single configuration with a slung pony.
The safety is there to protect the tank, not a regulator. I am not aware of any system (other than a true isolator/crossover) that if the safety goes, that it will not allow the tank to empty.
