We'll keep it as a separate BB/AC tech, as is currently written.  We'll leave turreted secondaries out of the picture for the moment - once they appear on BBs, there's no real reason to keep them off cruisers.  We'll have to determine when that date comes round.

The Swiss should already have cruisers with twin mounts, and Holland is also building such ships. How to keep it off cruisers?
If you take ships with centreline but not superfiring turrets, putting casemated guns above freeboard is problematic, and turreted secondaries would make sense even now.

About inflicting damage/problems:
Players submitting research request should also tell mods if they have a ship that started trials that has new guns/mounts/new year engines/whatever. It would be one or two additional dice roll.

The Auroras have been around for sometime now. They mount 8x6" in Omaha style gunhouses.

About probablity of failure, I did that with a number of my ship. Constellation for instance had a good chance her turbines could fail.

A bit off topic:
Well, strictly speaking I am not building any such ships ATM, the designs i posted was mainly due to me wanting to draw some cruisers. :)
I think the baltics are building some however. Not that this in any way affect your point.

I'm not talking about twin deck mounts - I'm talking about turret/barbette set-ups for CL-type guns.
