Sure, go ahead.

On wpa_supplicant side, yes, it is the same socket. On the client side,
it is not the same local end (e.g., see what wpa_ctrl_open() binds the
socket to).

I don't see any issues with this.

Why? Each connection to the global interface is uniquely identified by
the server,client side ends of the connection. Having one of those
(server) fixed does not make this any less unique pair. This is the
design that has been used with the per-interface control interfaces for
close to ten years now.. ;-) (Including what wifi.c does on Android
today.)
