Is there any benefit to keeping Linux and Windows partitions on separate disks?

If one disk dies you still have the other.

It creates a physical barrier that blocks the Windows botnet from infecting your Linux installation.

Windows can only install to the first partition of the first disk.
Linux can install anywhere.
So let windows rot in its own little hole while it slows down over time from sata controller interrupt counting and have a nice physically portable Linux disk to move around between desktops and laptops

Get rid of Windows and enjoy all that extra storage. Learn Linux and leave all that sleazy Windows shit behind.

Okay my mistake. It's been a few years since I wasted space on an install and it always bitches when I try to put it somewhere else
