"Look ridiculous"? What does appearance have to do with it?
I'm assume you really meant "sound ridiculous."
But many movements are for solo voice and sound just fine with just OVPP.
Surely you're not suggesting that the solo movements must be performed with more than OVPP to avoid "looking ridiculous" in "churches that size".
And if a solo movement can be heard OVPP, why not a chorus?
