Digital Amps? Marketing Hype?
I think you can find that ANY widely selling audio device will be strongly represented on the used market pretty quickly. It is not a reflection on quality but on the nature of audiophiles. 
How to share speakers without bypass?
"I didn't try it but in theory the following should work - if you use biwire in reverse - connect each speaker to both amps outputs. As long as you power only one amp at a time there shouldn't be any signal crossing. And output stage of either amp...

Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT?
The sub may rattle your windows but I am doubtful of calling a system with on/in ceiling speakers high end. You need the front ones, especially the center channel, much closer to the horizontal plane of the screen.Choose a dealer (or two) and ask ... 
Questions re: Biamplification
3- Yes. Results not significant as long as single amp is adequately powerful.
