I'm wondering if simply (blindly) running two tor processes per available IP is any worse than anything else from a pure "lets push as much traffic as we can" (on a host not on a tor process level).

I don't see a problem with that either, unless the destination is CPU or memory constrained.

We have (and had) servers with 16 IPs -- Dual Core, 2-4GB RAM, 100 Mbit/s and less. Maybe not too nice to spin up 32 Tor relays on such machines? But I think in general it is fair to go with "2 per IP", and expect the server to be configured to listen on a sane number of IPs.
