Yeah, I do, for one.
I don't know how much is too much, but I know I permanently screwed up a good reed once by forgetting I had put it in to soak, and leaving it in the water overnight. Oboe reeds do not do well as flotsam.
My solution to doubling was to get a stand tray (mine happens to be wooden, from Hodges, and it has a drill-out that exactly fits the water/(film) cannister, allowing it to hand below the tray deck, so it doesn't get in the way or get knocked over). I keep the various reeds lined up on the tray, and I mark my music to remind myself to soak one reed or another just enough ahead of when I need it so that it will be ready, but not oversoaked.
In the case of a VERY quick change, you probably will have to put the reed on at the beginning of the piece, or during a long rest preceeding the switch.
It works for me!
