I'm curious about what's driving the need for two AP's in each elevator, or to
have them there in the first place? Even in medical/hospital settings, I
typically see an AP placed on each floor in the elevator lobby. Given how
sticky clients are today, it seems to work very well even for latency sensitive
services like VoIP. It also reduces problems with location-based services
because the AP isn't changing elevation all the time.

Yeah, that was my assumption on the matter as well, but this [1]
document might disagree with that, as it states the following;
“[…] the access points will then select the beacon/probe-response
frames in neighboring access point messages to see if they contain an
authentication information element (IE) that matches that of the RF
group. If the select is successful, the frames are authenticated.
Otherwise, the authorized access point reports the neighboring access
point as a rogue, records its BSSID in a rogue table, and sends the
table to the Cisco WLC […]”.

The point was to avoid having to fiddle with manually configuring
several static parameters per AP, that essentially would be identical
for each deployment. Hence the idea to “simulate” static assignments
via the RF Profiles, solely so that we can assign such static
configurations through just AP Groups assignment. This is easier than
manual configuration of each parameter (less things to configure), and
also less prone to human errors (compared to manual assignments).
I’m not entirely convinced yet; it was more of a shower thought (-:
