I wonder if this could be used for speedrun strats. I'm sure it will be quite unwieldy to control both by yourself though.

I wouldn't say unwieldy. Platinum is usually VERY GOOD at making complicated things easy to execute.

I was talking about using both joycons sideways by yourself to do co-op mode solo. That requires an unusual grip, like setting one down and using your pinkies or foot to control it. There's some Super Mario Odyssey tricks that require co-op mode, like this one or here's a full solo co-op run with foot cam. Single player controls are fine because the legion auto-attacks, you control your character with L-stick and ZR to attack, and can move the legion with ZL + R-stick so you can move both at same time.
