Umm.. by stating that "one 6V goes out and you are in trouble" you HAVE stated YOUR "THEORY".
Using one PAIR of 6V GC batts in series is no worse than folks using ONE single 12V battery as which MANY folks do.
My previous TT only had provision for one single 12V group 27 RV/marine battery and in the 5 yrs of use it never got me "in trouble".
Not to mention unless you have ventured several thousand miles away from human civilization you can EASILY just go drive to a store and buy replacement batteries and continue on camping.
Minor inconvenience, yes, trouble, not hardly.
The "redundancy" theory that you have posted is really a silly argument that holds no weight.
You drive a vehicle which unless it is a Diesel has but ONE SINGLE 12V STARTING BATTERY.. How many times have you personally been left down by that one single starting battery?
Myself ZERO times and that includes sub zero freezing weather.
I would be more concerned about having a starting battery go dead out in the middle of nowhere.. Walking out of wilderness is often not an option.
