It would always depend on your expertise, if you're confident enough to do the 12 GPU builds then why not, its proven not a plug and play scenarios to make on this build and a challenging one, I'm not against it, however, what I always consider is that once in a while a rig may fail and so as all of your 12GPU also idled, compared to 6GPU with two builds, you still have one that running when the other one fails.
Your argument for 6 is one that appeals to me. Essentially "silo"-ing your rigs. Thanks!
