I think it would be better balanced if you could only use 1 spell + 1 cantrip (or eventually level 1 spell) per turn with this metamagic option.

Casting 2 level 1+ spells has always been available to sorcerers via 5e rules.
A sorcerer can twin spells enabling them to cast 2 Chromatic orbs, cast Haste on two fighters, cast two disintegrates, etc. all in the same round.
A multi-class fighter sorcerer could action surge and cast 4 leveled spells in the same round all according to D&D 5e rules.

Currently in BG3 any caster can cast 2 level 1+ spells in the same round by consuming a Potion of Speed.
Also any caster can cast 2 level 1+ spells if one has a casting time of a bonus action and the other has a casting time of an action.

Wrong. In Players handbook, page 202, passage Casting time - Bonus Action, quote: "A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn. You can't cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action" end of quote.

That rule applies to casting a spell on a bonus action and then casting with your action.
It has no bearing on twinning a level 1+ spell spell with your action and then action surging and twinning another level 1+ spell


Per the Sage Advice Compendium:

Quote
If you cast a spell, such as healing word, with a bonus action, you can cast another spell with your action, but that other spell must be a cantrip. Keep in mind that this particular limit is specific to spells that use a bonus action. For instance, if you cast a second spell using Action Surge, you aren’t limited to casting a cantrip with it.


Any fighter mage could cast a fireball, action surge and cast another fireball.
A multi-class fighter sorcerer could use twin spell and action surge to cast 4 level 1+ spells in the same round , for example 4 Disintegrates, all according to D&D 5e rules.

Currently in BG3 any caster can cast 2 level 1+ spells in the same round by consuming a Potion of Speed.(or standing in a cloud of Haste Spores)
Also,currently in BG3, any caster can cast 2 level 1+ spells if one has a casting time of a bonus action and the other has a casting time of an action. (Have your Wizard cast Misty Step and Magic Missile on the same turn if you wish to verify)
