Nooo, as literally a person doing this right now, splitting up the work is a terrible idea. Almost everything you do is "wasted" effort at this stage (until it suddenly isn't, and arguable if failed experimentation is "wasted" in the first place), you need to be okay with that when in this role, and everyone needs to know how to do everything if you want to even have a prayer of a chance at a normal life. You must learn new tech quickly, and pivot to different decisions if it makes more sense to do something another way. You also must be okay with terrible code written hastily, as long as it's good enough to not have any fatal bugs in it, and the only way I know how to do that is to have another person to validate/refute your work.
