"Multiple journals OK, as long as you list only one line on your CV" would be more work for reviewers, but if the journals are in vastly different fields, then the reviewers might be looking for different things in the paper.
If we follow some of the suggestions of people like Björn Brembs (npub1x5a…yh0y) or Dan Goodman (npub14c5…rfvf) that the future of journals is as "collections" of preprints with commentary (much like #eLife is doing now), then one might have different commentary in different fields.
Think of, for example, a neuroeconomics paper with one set of peer review / commentary in a neuroscience journal and another set in an economics journal.
On the other hand, this would likely open the floodgates of simultaneous submission to multiple journals in the same field which would be a nightmare. (How far apart would two journals have to be to be OK to publish in both?)
Personally, I'm definitely not going to do multiple journals, but I very well might do multiple preprints, particularly for specific cross-field cases (like neuroeconomics).
