Interesting. I myself is a firm disbeliever of multiple Sekais theory as I personally can't find combinations of scenes that absolutely require multiple different Sekai ghosts to form a tightly written narrative. However, ghost Sekai that was "brought back by Akira's deep desire" and the Sekai that "physiologically infested inside Kaori" have technically different yet both valid origins (or as valid as this world allows it).And that's not even getting into the potentially crackpot theory that Kaori isn't (by default) possessed by Sekai, but more like her 'spirit' or energy (not her soul, at least not more than a piece of it,) because she (probably) received her organs in a transplant — And Kaori is either possessed by a lingering piece of her soul or her evil aura juices or something. Similar to the Shirikodama which a lot of people know about (thanks, Elden Ring.) In which case it's Sekai vs Sekai's spirit(?)
In other words, on one hand ghost Sekai and Sekaori can still be viewed as two sides of the same coin; it can be explained as ghost Sekai being able to influence only Akira and Kaori to a paranormal level due to the bonds shared, one mental and one physiological. On the other hand, ghost Sekai and Sekaori did kinda come from different sources (the spirit vs body theme you alluded to). Despite still not feeling the necessity for them to be different, I suppose this part can potentially make me yield to multiple Sekais theory because as least the train of thoughts on the difference of how ghost Sekai and Sekaori came to be seems logical enough.
