My question for all of you: Is there some other advantage to stacking these activities back-to-back like this, is that less beneficial physiologically, or is it a wash?

Not that I know of. Probably more beneficial.
In running, while some people "break" a "long run" in to two separate pieces, it is almost universally considered better to run the whole thing in one piece to get the heart used to remaining elevated for a sustained period of time.
For example, there are benefits to runs of 5 miles in the morning and 5 in the evening (more miles, time on feet, etc.) but it is generally better just to run 10 miles in one fell swoop but if you don't have the time, you don't have the time.
Plus, you only have to shower once, like you said.
