Having everything else on a different inverter means when something causes the other inverter to trip, the frig keeps working. It also means you can switch the other inverter "off" and decrease idling load for off grid occupation.
I would not think simplicity is worth the added risk.

I guess I am having a hard time quantifying the risk. If the inverter trips while I'm in the camper, I will just reset the system. If it trips while I'm off galavanting, I'll be back before anything in the fridge goes bad. It's not like the fridge can't go without power for a few hours while we are on a hike with the new puppy.
