I think the way to do it is hooking up more channels to your RF chip… I’m sure it won’t cost much more in manufacturing to do 4 & 8 chain etc… Mimosa is doing this. I think the antennas should stay passive. If the antenna can make a bad decision then it’s just one more device with a brain that needs mastered.
