I've been wondering the same thing. I've done it both ways, and each has its advantages.
But having a separate instance on each track seems the most straightforward, and is easier to see and keep track of, which can count for a lot.
The Kontakt instances themselves don't seem too resource intensive, compared to the actual sample libraries, which would need to be loaded in any case. So it's not clear if combining all patches into one instance would be a more efficient use of resources.
Curious what others are doing.
