Could it be that it is faster or more bullet proof to do the simul roll on ingest?
In most trucks I've worked in, it would take a lot of effort to sync two VTRs for locked simultaneous playback
 
I would assume, but will ask here, when the EVS ingests a tape does it capture the time code on the tape with the file so all my graphics built on even NonDrop minutes and 20 second intervals could be assessed and utilized with the ingested file?
Any external time code can be fed into the EVS, so I imagine a tape deck's TC would work just as well.

I guess a good reason to sync-roll two decks for ingest is if there's quite a bit of material to capture - if everything has a matte and fill, then not sync-rolling would take twice as long to capture. If there's a quick turnaround from the moment the tape arrives at the truck to the moment it's needed for the show, then our director may have a point. After all, they're not all idiots - only some of them.  ;-)
