I think the inverse is better: Post to just 1 place, your "outbox". Read from the "outboxes" of the people you follow. See NIP-65. You'll end up reading events only once (or twice or three times, at your chosen level of redundancy) instead of many times from many relays.

The only thing that concept doesn't cover is when you want to address a particular person, in which case you need to post to their "inbox". That includes replies, which always address people.

Since I wrote the NIP I've started calling "write relays" your "outbox" and "read relays" your "inbox" and also noticed a striking similarity to ActivityPub.
