How would this approach apply to, e.g., an R&D project in which each member of the team is a SME, "rotating" is not possible, and hiring two SMEs for each position would have a negligible impact on how quickly the project gets done?

Consider, for instance, an embedded software engineer, a PhD in computer vision, and a PhD in optics working together on a laser weapon.

In real world, in your example there would be more than one of each - a lot more.

The only hypothetical scenario I can imagine where this could happen is 3 founders in a freshly formed startup.

This is not necessarily the case in military-adjacent R&D laboratories.
