A long time ago, a local mechanic told me that you couldn't put two engines on a car without them being coupled somehow... I laughed at him and drove a go-kart with two 5 hp briggs direct-drive engines on it into his shop, one engine controlling each rear wheel.
This controller per motor thing seems kind of speculative, honestly, I just don't see a real reason that it couldn't work.

I believe the Zilla controllers can drive more than one motor by wiring them in series or parallel, though I think they must turn at the same speed at all times. You could break one or both with contactors, but contactors tend not to last very long if they have to break a few hundred amps every time you turn a corner.
