While considering the advantages/disadvantages of ring v radials the sharing of loads and the redundancy is with considering too.
It would be a benefit to consider the initial premise of at least two sockets on differing power circuits in every room and indeed two lighting circuits.
Obviously these considerations are more important in the busiest rooms/high total load locations and probably significantly less so in other locations. If a utility room is used for a multitude of tech stuff then a bit of duality might be worth considering.
Indeed if the utility room is to become the "command centre" of Johnw2 mansion this might be desirable.
Kitchen - if, for example, load highs (including both max draw and max duration) to a mix of appliances spread roughly equally about two definable halves of the kitchen, especially for appliance power then if one power circuit is down (for additions, amendments, repair) could be a benefit.
Even one circuit purely for the main fridge freezer might be worthy of consideration - only a fault on on that one particular circuit or that one particular appliance could result in a major food disaster whilst you are blissfully unaware/unable to take action because you are at our antipodes.and the incoming supply to the house is still healthy.
Of course you would need to ensure adequate labelling at the consumer unit and adjacent to it a schedule of circuits in a clear durable unambiguous notice and keep fingers crossed that people read and understand it.
Taken to the extreme you might want to consider each point on its own radial circuit and a consumer unit being big enough to fill one room on its own - of course that extreme would be completely ludicrous except perhaps for an important government house expecting a nuclear winter! That`s before you give important consideration to alternative supplies and UPS.
Everything stated so far will have a cost consideration too both monetary and work effort - most people will consider this the most important limiting factor.
So a mix and match of the above ideas would be your initial starter for ten. How far are you prepared to go and what extras benefits are likely to become the most important?
How much do you want to defend your lifestyle (electrically speaking) and how much are you willing to spend on it?
The world is yer lobster!
Renewables/Battery Storage/ Stand by generators etc etc , the list goes on
I`m probably repeating most of what I`ve already said previously
