Of course SO2R is fine for a single op as long as you do not transmit on
both radios at the same time.
A VHF contest, with its slower QSO rate, is a great way to learn SO2R

I think probably the clearest way to get an answer on the legality of this
is to just ask. Bart, any thoughts? Can a single op run SO2R, or beacon on
microwaves while working 2 or 6?
