I have five or six MIDI devices working at same time most of the time with no issues.

First time with new device:
Turn keyboard/new MIDI device on.
Open DAW
Preferences>
Enable and control>apply
Exit preferences.

They should now work together every time you open Reaper with them switched on.
If you forget to switch them on just go into Preferences and enable device.
If you open the DAW with two keyboards connected and set up in preferences they will both work with the same VSTi automatically.

No need to mess with sends and receives or the channels to get it up and running, it just works.

If you want to assign different controllers to different VSTis that is simple too.
Just go to MIDI:all channels and change VSTi control to your chosen specific keyboard (you will see a list of devices).
