One of the major issues with the arrangement you are proposing is that a single failure, i.e. the common nozzle, could cause the effective loss of significant levels of thrust from both engines.

This was a major issue for the Learfan where both engines drove a single propeller.

Some times a solution can be worse than the problem.
