I honestly think with increased batting lineups they would be very difficult to bowl out twice for the reasons mentioned earlier - competition for places and more cautious batting.

That batting line up still isn't strong enough to worry a decent bowling attack who is defending 400+.
And you're not taking into account the general decrease in batting performance which occurs when batsmen are expected to bowl significant numbers of overs.
