Is there any difference in splitting up the load between 2 miners versus everything being done by 1? My hash rate seems to be the same either way but I'm curious if there are any other advantages to splitting up the threads.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I figured as much. The possible advantages I refer to, however, would be along the lines of mining for multiple pools, having multiple miners therefore not being left completely out of commission in the event one goes down, etc.
