Much of the UK splits barristers (trial law) and solicitors (non-trial law) but I’m pretty sure that’s a historical relic not a designed split to make each easier to learn and practice.

I think people just interacted with the legal system far less in the past and there was less specialization.

So why do you believe the ‘splitting’ would be viable in the US? Is there some argument for why it’s more likely than not?
