A pool is an independent configuration element and can be utilized with multiple Virtual Servers/iRules as required.

 

From an operational point of view, looking at the stats of the pool won't provide you with specific information related to a an individual VIP/VS as traffic from multiple VIP/VS is being sent to the same pool. You would have to also consider if connections that hit the VIP/VS have to maintain persistence across the 2 VIP/VS.
