I don't see a problem other than ensuring neither capture app is trying to control the mount, ie no dithering. Let PHD2 do everything as far as guiding is concerned. Make sure there is no automatic connection between the apps and guiding. The issues will probably have more to do with laptop resources, including port availability, and hub sharing. I would imagine problems if both apps were trying to download and save at the same time. If you were running two separate laptops you would be ok i think. I run into issues with my guide camera and imaging camera conflicting unless i start the imaging camera first so that it gets the correct profile. A little HP Stream should be able to run APT, or BYEOS, ok.
Maybe a little Stick PC could be used for the DSLR with a second monitor. Interesting challenge.
