The docs say

Multiple task panes

Don't design your add-in to use multiple task panes if you are planning to use a shared runtime. A shared runtime only supports the use of one task pane. Note that any task pane without a is considered a different task pane.

It is unclear to me if this means

• if you are using a shared runtime anywhere, you can only have one taskpane anywhere
• or, only one taskpane can use the shared runtime, the others use the normal runtime.

I have tested that the second option works, I just want to be sure that's what this documentation is saying. e.g.,

...
<Runtime resid="SharedTaskpane.Url" lifetime="long" />
...
                  <Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
                    <TaskpaneId>ButtonId1</TaskpaneId>
                    <SourceLocation resid="SharedTaskpane.Url"/>
                  </Action>
...
                  <Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
                    <TaskpaneId>ButtonId2</TaskpaneId>
                    <SourceLocation resid="NotSharedTaskpane.Url"/>
                  </Action>
...
