    You only need to ask yourself why the PSU manufacturer would bother including the second connector on the same cable if it wasn’t ok to use it.

    If you use a third party extension/splitter that would be another story but it doesn’t look that way in the diagram.

      Many cards used to use 3 connectors so you’d run two lines and a third from the second connector of one of the lines.

      The diagram op posted is from nvidia and seasonic and fixes many stability issues, not fire hazzards
