I believe you might be using a side effect of the include (i.e. a config
snippet being usable in both contexts), that now with only one config
will not help you anymore.

I'd assume that using protocol templates can to some degree reduce the
overhead though.
We also started using MP BGP quite a lot with bird2, routing
IPv4 over IPv6, as you can now have 2 channels per BGP session.
