> get four to implement the same thing at the same time, then review their choices

Why would you do that to yourself? Reviewing 4 different solutions instead of 1 is 4 times the amount of work.

You wouldn't do that for everything. I'd reserve it for work with higher uncertainty, where you're not sure which path is best. Different model families can make very different choices.

Yes, this exactly.

Also, if there is a ui design then they could look wildly different.

I rarely use this feature, but when appropriate, it is fantastic to see the different approaches.
