Those are good reasons for having parallel MXers. Only when the
"backup" server cannot handle 1/2 the load normally should it be given a
lower-priority MX.
Of course in this case all MXers are still under direct and hopefully
immediate control of the same administrators so can enforce the same
access controls and thus lots of the reasons for avoiding MXers do not
apply in this case.
