Re: 1 Encoder, 2 Jaguars
FWIW, I don't think the propagation delay is going to be a problem either.

Anyone thinking of trying this should confirm, but my reading of 2013 R72 H makes me think this is legal to do:

R72 All outputs from sensors, custom circuits and additional electronics shall connect to only the following: H. the sensor inputs on the Jaguar motor controller.

So, this is likely a viable option (subject to confirmation of the legality), but note that I have not actually done this. One could also use this trick to connect both DCS inputs and Jag inputs to the same encoder.
