Yes, except as you pointed out below, LO Exported for Tx1 is not
needed and likely does nothing.

Yes

Yes, Somewhere in the Ettus documentation, it indicates that this is
the case (I've forgotten where).

Yes, I have been using this in a 16x16 system with 8 N321 devices all
connected by a single LO (arbitrarily chosen LO export channel
distributed to both Tx and Rx LO inputs). I've also tested it on
smaller systems as small as 4x4 (and possibly 2x2 like your case, but
not positive on this).
