Yep. If you really want to have two sparks, use two plugs. Chrysler's Hemis have two plugs per cylinder. If it were really a unicorn then they'd advertise the extra plugs to get some benefit from it. I think that the head design has a lot to do with any gain from it because they don't use it in other engines.

That sums it all up nicely. It's always my recommendation with spark plugs.
