So how much crosstalk would there really be in an Insert cable wired with
just one piece of 3 core mic cable? I know this is common practice in
Pro
live systems, but have heard studio engineers frowning about this,

People with no practical experience make up problems that only exist
in theory, and not always very sound application of theory.

Back in college, some group constructed a student music room. Some prof had
donated his LP collection. You'd tell the guy behind the desk what you
wanted, he would find it and spin it while you plugged phones into a jack in
a beautifully decorated "parlor." There were multiple feeds and multiple
jacks. There was one problem: crosstalk. This was a low impedance setup,
using Koss AA phones.

The room quickly fell into disuse, because of the crosstalk problem. But I
do understand that in live work, monitoring is usually compromised. I do
not think I'd want 20dB on unrelated program material. I don't think I'd
want it for live either, but I defer to your experience.
