You can have multiple consumers per queue. On exclusive queues, they all have to be
on the same connection.

If that's not sufficient, you can use exchange-to-exchange bindings to first distribute
messages between exchanges and those (fanout) exchanges will distribute messages
between queues.

That is only necessary if every consumer needs to get a copy of every message. If that's not
the case, simply add as many consumers as necessary on every queue.

Mirrored queues is a high availability feature. If only one node in a cluster has contents of a queue
and that node fails, the entire queue content is gone. With mirrored queues, one of the mirrors
is promoted to master.
