😀 It's not a marvel because only two of them do require IO, IRQ, DMAs at the same time. Two others are only synths and not difficult in co-configuration with "full" speech/synth sound cards.
I have on my regular retro system really four sound cards (not synths) which require all these resources. They occupy:
1) IO 220 IRQ 7 DMA 1
2) IO 240 IRQ 5 DMA 0 DMA 5
3) IO 250 IRQ 3 DMA 7
4) IO 260 IRQ 9 DMA 3 DMA 6
plus MPU IO 300 320 330 and MPU IRQ 11
- and they all coexist perfactly fine, no need for boot menus for different sound configs. This is really 4 cards built hard to setup. And cards such as LAPC-I, ADlib/OPL clones, SW60XG, Goldfinch are configuring by any child.

It”s not a competition on how complicatied you can make it 🤣

Well, I've tested multiple games that support the dual OPL2 of the SB Pro 1 and they all sound like they are working properly.

What type of thing am I going to hear/not hear if it isn't working?

Out of my head immediately try Indianapolis 500. I think my card is an earlier rev, but i'll get back to you on this.

Do you have a good list of games that support dual OPL2 on the SB Pro?

The ones I came across that supposedly support it are:
Formula One Grand Prix (Does this use the dual OPL2 for sound? From the little bit I played, it didn't have any music whatsoever)
F-15 Strike Eagle III
Hi-Octane
Ultima Underworld
Inherit The Earth: Quest For The Orb

And these, except for the early Sierra titles, which only support it on the 8-bit PAS:
1990 Christmas Card - The Seasoned Professional
B-17 Flying Fortress
Castle of Dr. Brain
Conquests of the Longbow
David Leadbetter's Greens
DragonsSphere
EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus (patch)
F-15 Strike Eagle III (not sure why this is on the list for ONLY SB Pro 1 and also on the list for SB Pro 1 and PAS)
F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0
Fleet Defender
Gunship 2000
Harrier Jump Jet
Hoyle's Official Book of Games Volume 3
Jones in the Fast Lane
King's Quest V (patch)
Leisure Suit Larry 5
Leisure Suit Larry 1 VGA
Lord of the Rings Volume 1
Lord of the Rings Volume 2
Mixed-up Fairy Tales
Mixed-Up Mother Goose (patch)
Pirates! Gold
Police Quest III
Quest for Glory II (patch)
Return of the Phantom
Sid Meier's Civilization
Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon Deluxe
Space Quest I VGA
Space Quest IV (patch)
Special Forces
Strike Commander

This looks mostly like titles that would run well on a 386. I'd probably try to rock the PAS in an earlier machine.

Ok, so how about this:

Turtle Beach Tropez Plus
Sound Blaster Pro 1 (for dual OPL2 fun)
PAS16 - Logitech version with no drive controller.
Music Quest MPU-401 for some nice intelligent mode MT-32 support.
Aztech I38-MMSD802

Should I replace one of these with an Ensoniq S-2000 or maybe with something that has a wave table header?

Sound like you have allot of good choices for sound cards.
For ISA slots the Sound Blaster 16 Vibra and AWE 64 are still easy to find and offer good sound and support.
They are easy to setup in DOS/WIn3x/WinNT351/NT40/95/98
