There are three things you can look at endlessly: burning fire, running water, and how Linux newbies try to allocate disk space " as efficiently as possible ".

In terms of performance - make RAID0.

The system on one, the /home folder (possibly /usr) on the other. I would do that.

Let's be realistic: no matter how you distribute them, you will notice the difference in performance only with an atomic stopwatch. If the computer is at home, then I usually share:
In total, through LVM you can have more than a terabyte in / home, the rest - in / and swap. In general, how many people - so many opinions.

yes, through mdadm you can make 2 partitions on different disks and put them in raid0 for some non-important data and raid1 for important ones. For example, I have VM and docker containers spinning in raid0.
