Hi The one thing you don’t want to do is play with insulation. There are two ovens in a normal Rb. Their temperatures are close to each other. It will not work if the temperatures are equal ( = there are reasons for the delta).
Since the two ovens are right up against each other, there is non-trivial heat transfer between them. The “colder” oven needs a certain amount of heat loss to stay inside a reasonable control range. Insulation would mess this up ….
