The big risk with a couple going on separate work visas is obviously if one of them were to lose their job. When the job ends, the visa ends, and for most working visas, you don't have the right to just "find a new job" and carry on. Often, the unemployed partner would have only a short period of time to leave the country - something like 30 days.
