When I'm alone in my tent I'll sometimes set up two rods inside the tent, in opposite corners as far apart as I can get them. Could do the same thing with a tip-up in hole#2 but in my case I just prefer to play the fish on the rod/reel.
As for tangles - yeah, it happens from time to time. I always make sure I keep the bail on my reel open so that if a fish does get caught up in the line it'll just take line off the reel and not my rod down the hole.
