The problem I have with dual classes, is that they can't level up as far as a single class, due to the XP "ceiling". Having a main character with lots of HPs is essential, and with only say, 6 level-ups, the character won't get that many HPs, even with a constitution at 18.

Agreed. That's especially true for spellcasters in BG1. With a low experience cap and little exp to gain at any one time, melee and ranged are emphasized more in the game than spells, usually. It takes a lot of effort to work a spellcaster up to the point where they can really help.
BG2 with ToB is another matter. A multiclassing spellcaster like Aerie (mage/cleric) rises slowly, but receives so much experience, so quickly, that they turn into a powerhouse. Just think of all those contingencies she can make using not just mage, but clerical spells, as well!
