Again the limit is only 1 volume can be loaded in 1 storage device at a time. This is not that big of a limitation because with disk you can have 10000 storage devices if you want. Also with a vchanger the handling of this is automatic. Send jobs to 1 vchanger device. I admit there is also a difficulty in loading a single pool in earlier versions of bacula in multiple devices. Bacula 5.0 makes this simpler by allowing the same pool to be loaded in different storage devices without difficulty.
