Disks are so cheap these days there's no reason not to do this. It's a good
idea to make a direct copy of your boot disk and keep it on the shelf so that
if anything happens to the boot drive you can just swap a new one in and go
without losing time in a session. You don't need to update it often like
you need to update your backups of the work disk, and if it's a direct copy
you can just pull the old drive out and drop the new drive in with no added
work.

If taking this approach, make sure that all of your app's reference
files are kept on one of the backup discs. Normally, some apps will
install their files in a sub-folder on the boot drive, and it could
cause the app to crash if the drive is swapped without a current state
of those files.
