You can certainly have multiple Solrs pointing to the same underlying physical index if (and only if) you absolutely guarantee that only one Solr will write to the index at a time.
But I'm not sure this is premature optimization or not. Problem is that your multiple Solrs are eating up the same physical memory, so I'm not quite sure whether the fact that you have different query characteristics is best served by multiple cores or not. Have you measured improvements with your proposed architecture?
