Only big business use back up servers (in case of downtime caused by blackouts or disasters), which is why 99% of us here don't need another host for back up reasons. But we do need multiple hosts for SEO and promotional reasons.

This makes some sense to me but it also would add to my expenses. At what stage would you think this would be a wise idea?

I only use one server. I don't find any point is using different hosts - unless you're running big websites and small websites and don't want to use one server.

Yes I prefer multiple host. This is necessary because all of your websites should not go down in the same time.
