There are several options for combined mechanical brakes including dual cable levers, or cable splitters. You could do cables to hydraullic (TRP/HY/...)

I've thought about symmetrical single actuated hydraulic brakes with respect to trikes (a good place to start your hunt).

The biggest problem with a simple line splitter is matching the master and slave capacity. I had thought maybe a moped master cylinder???

However, a quick search on the web about hydraulic trikes leads one to the the Tektro Auriga Twin.

It looks like they aren't particularly cheap, but perhaps less expensive than a few trips to the dentist.
Looks like we will give this a try. We will try to adjust the brake power by increasing/reducing disk size.

Thanks this was a really good find that did not come up in my searches.
