Decent guide plate devices are not an issue at all with belaying single ropes at the same time. I've never had issues with ropes <10.5mm. Though certainly some are better than others. I hear the DMM pivot is pretty good.

You serious? Gri-Gris aren't reliable for locking up unless the brake strand is tended. Guide plates are far lighter, easier and safer for such a role.
