The issue you’re raising is one that could’ve (should’ve?) been discussed when 
the "tls-client-server" draft was being reviewed.  

In that document, only a single key+certificate is configurable, by each peer, 
for the TLS connection.  Specifically, there is not one key+cert for encrypting 
and a different key+cert for signing.

I hear about this Security best practice often, but never seen it used in the 
wild.  How important is this?
