I've spent way way more time on coin splitting today than I should have. It turns out that I can't get my unsplit transactions to mine on Bitcoin Cash, so I have started to wonder about the current day dangers of sending unsplit coins.
The default fee for ElectrumSV is 0.5 satoshis per byte, and having tried to get an unsplit transaction created in ESV to broadcast on Bitcoin Cash, I was unable to. Most Electron Cash servers reject it, and it does not seem to propagate if anything does.
The implication (no guarantees) is that if you use the default fee in ElectrumSV and send your unsplit coins, it might be that at this time due to these high minimum fees on BCH, it is very unlikely you will see the BCH coins move promptly if at all.
Electron Cash and likely most other BCH wallets use Schnorr signatures by default and these should not be compatible with BSV. So the implication (no guarantees) is that any BCH sent will automatically be split from BSV.
Using the splitting functionality in ElectrumSV should give certainty the coins are split. Whatever the choice of splitting approach is, the key thing is to move the coins somewhere different in each wallet.
