That's the right concept of a remote configuration: a server that can be 
accessed via one or more (fallback) addresses.

There are a few places where I have found the behaviour to be best if I treat 
each remote ID as an individual server.  One other example in the handling of 
zone transfers is when an upstream IP address is unreachable... a different 
remote per server allows Knot to try a different remote, where clustering them 
all together causes the entire *XFR to fail.  So in our configs, an individual 
remote gets at most one each of an IPv4 and IPv6 address, and I might even 
consider splitting _those_ up (as you suggest above) if you want to handle the 
case where a server is reachable in one protocol but not the other.
