Any problem with crimping two wires into 1 connector as pictured?
I've also included the wiring diagram i'm using with this circuit marked.

An alternative to consider is currently crimping 2 wires on 2 connectors and screwing the 2 connectors on one terminal.

Depending on different variables, this might be a better way to go.
 
Two wires in one crimp is fine and makes a neat job. We use it a lot on control wiring.

One exception is with a heavy load (like what you have pictured). I use a single conductor back to distribution block.
Same applies to the heating element neutral wire.

Think about it. The entire heater current draw will run through that crimp.
