Last I looked 1.5 degrees between spacecraft (as seen from the ground)
was the minimum required to avoid interference.

Wrong viewpoint. In a way.

If you want to have two receiving transponders overlaying the same
frequency range you need a sat side antenna that can resolve
two sites on earth well. Only then can you increase capacity
beyond that one sat covering the full bandwidth once.
