OK.  I see the problem that you cite with the same FTN message
ending up at different pre-Telegram gates and then getting
delivered to the same Telegram group.

But that problem is solved if the group owner allows only one
bot to do the gating.

However, I see the advantages of having a single source group,
and multiple gate-bots as members.

Yeah.. how do you avoid letting through the same message being
shared around on the FTN side and ultimately being fed into
Telegram by different gate-bots?  It's almost like your gate-
bot needs to share a database of msgids inorder to block the
ones that any ONE of the other bots have already processed.
