As of #11466 we no longer have any logic to prevent a user from opening a wallet twice in two instances simultaneously. Not only could this break BDB (without the -privdb=false option, which I have really no idea why we even have a tuneable option for that), but we certainly don't have logic to handle such a case gracefully. It was noted in the original PR's description, but somehow was never followed up on before merge.
