It's not a big deal. The drivers are very simple and shouldn't care.
Really there are only a few things to worry about:
1- you need to be able to set each CoCo host adapter to use a different
SCSI ID.
2- you need to maintain proper bus termination.
and
3- you best not write to the same file(s) at the same time. Multiple
reads should be just fine.
Note that you can (technically) also wire up and share floppies in a
similar manner.
