Isn't one of the tracks on the multitrack used for timecode? For
synchronisation purposes that would effectively make the extra sound tracks
like an extension of the ones on the video recorder itself.

There will always be special cases where a physically separate recorder for
sound is the simplest way and an electronic connection is not feasible, such
as a shot where camera and action are separated by a busy road, but doing
things the old-fashioned way as routine when there are better modern ways
that require less work seems a curiously hamstrung way to go about things.
