Can an sdr be used by two applications at the same time?
https://github.com/petrinm/SoapyShared -- Uses shared memory -- fast, works only through Soapy, can cause problems on some platforms.

Any advise welcomed
Local playback? SigDigger is highly recommended: https://batchdrake.github.io/SigDigger/ – it also supports different data modes.

Just bought a rtl-sdr. Linux software - what is not rubbish.
SigDigger is good for a playback of prerecorded full-spectrum files (also called IQ files). Has the time slider, so if you missed anything you can rewind. https://batchdrake.github.io/SigDigger/

Reading baseband iq recordings
For just playing back the wideband recordings SigDigger is a good option.

Where to start with signal ID?
There is good software for identifying the type of modulation used, and demodulating it, for example SigDigger
-
Is there a way to rip audio directly from an IQ file?
SigDigger: https://batchdrake.github.io/SigDigger/ The best thing is that it can move through time and frequency, so you can go back / forward if you need to.

SDR over a network
I'd like to add to the answers a fantastic yet relatively unknown piece of software called SigDigger. It is a GUI for suscan. You can run a suscan device server at the raspi and run a remote SigDigger instance. Network bandwidth is minimal because only the FFT and demodulated signal is sent. https://github.com/BatchDrake/SigDigger

Decoding radio-controlled bus stop displays (2013)

Monitoring JWST transmissions, if doable, might be the next milestone for Ham Radio.

What OS has the best software for RTL-SDR? I currently use gqrx but feel its limited.

Oscilloscope/Wefax type graphing app -- does this exist?
Hi, you can use Sigdigger to perform this task, using FSK inspector. After some tweaking you will be able to display Wefax image. You'll perhaps need to perform line alignment at start. example : https://twitter.com/BatchDrake/status/1216072630698156033?s=20 SigDigger sources As note I can add the purpose of SigDigger is not to decode Wefax, and there are many features ! Hope this can help
