If I was in financial duress, I certainly would.However, while I am not, I don't see any benefits in holding two full-time remote jobs. I'd rather remotely freelance or consult for multiple clients. In the long run, that is likely going to be a lot more beneficial for personal growth, career and financial success.

Depends on speed of the individual. Definitely think if you can do it and balance outcomes on both - I don't see any problem here. Issue arises if there are conflicting interests! Having worked multiple jobs before - definitely very doable.
