This "simple" solution would make my life way more complicated. Not to mention expensive.

I only travel with my backup phone with a fresh re-install.

The main thing is it is nice to get away from the main phone on a trip and enjoy the trip. Losing it would not be the end of the world.

All these other aspects you get for free.

Your second phone could be an old Nokia 1110.

I still have to pay for a second cell phone account, keep it charged, and use up a pocket carrying it everywhere.

Doesn’t sound like that is what is happening here. Don’t let perfect get in the way of good enough at least in the short term.
