Hypothetically.... If I were to do a speaker with 4-8ohm tweeters.
Is there any difference if I put 'X' value cap on each tweeter OR use a single cap of the same X value (*wiring series/parallel to make a single 8ohm load) to all the tweets IF the caps wattage capability is not exceeded?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage other than increasing power handling to running a 'cap each' vs 'cap for all'?
Just wondering....

THE AR-MST came in various versions. Some with three tweeters and some with 4.
Those old wise guys like Edgar Vilchur and Roy Allison decided that a single cap was more economic than multiple caps. Probably the same goes for more complex filters. The tweeters in separate enclosures, of course so it works.

Should not make a difference acoustically. One capacitor is more economical as long as it can handle the current.
Yes, but the answer is the same whether you use a cap or resistor. You aren't understanding parallel and series resistance/impedance.
I suggest you grab a free XSim and try out your various scenarios. It's a great learning and experimentation lab.
Best,
