Mecanum wheels are a little different. I guess it was bad of me for assuming tank drive. With mecanum drives, there's significantly less issue than a tank drive. Because each one is on rollers, you don't have issues of stalling and back driving that you would with the second example up there. You still have issues with potentially offset voltage, but that's pretty easy to solve with a encoder on each wheel. That's expensive, and you might as well just buy more motor controllers with that money, but it'll work. Good luck with your project!
