We are looking at the feasibility to deploy a work profile and to utilise the dual SIM capability, initially on Samsung devices. Therefore to use SIM1 for personal and SIM2 for work profile. Does this sort of feature exist or in the pipeline for implementation into later versions of MobiControl, especially as more devices are being released into the marketplace with SIM card managers for dual sim's

Dual SIM mobile devices have been very popular in Asia for over 10 years.

I'm not sure if Google has announced any support for your mentioned feature, namely using SIM1 for personal and SIM2 for work profile, in Android Enterprise BYOD use-case.  Did you see any MDM/EMM solution claiming they support what you look for on any devices on the market? 

While restricting the work profile to use a specific SIM card sounds for security reason sounds good for enterprise, imposing restriction for personal profile to use the other SIM card is much less reasonable.   Most MDM/EMM solutions should have virtually no control on anything in the personal profile.
