3D printer firmware (and the slicer) makes certain assumptions about the printer, including an assumption that the axes are orthogonal.

Doesn't RepRap firmware make the assumption that the alignment of the axes is fixed? With two Z axis motors, the alignment can change.

On dual motor Z axes you could put a zero sensor at each end of the X axis and run the two motors until both have tripped their respective z=0 sensors.

You might also have to add rotation sensors to ensure that both screws are turning or the system could do some damage if one screw is jammed and the other keeps turning.
