I think, that's a possibility but as far as I can tell, most
"grassroots" environmentalists use a single camera with some kind of
filter which puts the IR in the red channel and the visible spectrum in
the blue channel or similar. Typical is a Rosco 2007 filter.
Here are the parameters for that filter:
http://www.rosco.com/filters/SED.cfm?titleName=R2007:%20Storaro%20Blue&imageName=../images/filters/roscolux/2007.jpg

But having the possibility to do that could potentially create more
precise results because the greyscale VIS footage would contain R, G and
B information as opposed to only B and a tiny bit of G when using a
single camera.

One other thing that people often do is simply remove the IR cut filter
from a lens so they get a composite of R, G, B and lots of IR. That's
fairly tricky to postprocess too. For GIMP I wrote a short tutorial on
that here:
http://stefan.gofferje.net/uav/170-ir-photos-with-the-boscam-hd19-part-1

But to my knowledge that’s rarely used for creating NDVI because the VIS
red information kinda messes with the IR - the cameras don't save the
information what is VIS red and what is IR.

I have a sheet of Rosco 2007 and a few lenses on order and I recently
made a short video about how to postprocess pure IR footage with
KDEnLive (http://stefan.gofferje.net/uav/199-video-ir-video-postprocessing).

In 2 or 3 weeks I should be able to produce some sample footage
- With Rosco 2007 filter
- IR composite (lens without IR cut)
- Pure IR (lens with IR passthrough filter)
