I believe this is where CQRS plays nice with “event sourcing”. You write all your events in one model, but can read them in multiple ones, that is if you can tolerate some read latency... and most systems are usually ok with that.

CQRS also alleviates a lot of the pain people experience around event sourcing and distributed systems with event evolution and manipulation. There are many cases where it's inappropriate for consuming services to be aware of the internal representation of events. Giving them a 'snapshot-centric' view of the data can be a simplification in both directions.
