Saving Info Into Multiple Sections

As far as I know EventEx is the only way to do it relatively cleanly, without having to write the insert logic yourself. It’s a remarkably complex problem! EventEx was written a long time beyond the Members extension was born so there are undoubtedly incompatibilities because they were never intended to work together.
AJAX would be a fair alternative — you’d return the new IDs from the first call and pass them to the second. However you then have a reliance on JavaScript and all the rest of it.

Is using EventEx the only way to save information from a single front-end form into multiple sections in the back end? I looked into it and I got a little worried when A. I’ve heard rumors it isn’t working with the Members Extension all that well. and B. As far as I understand I’d have to write all of my Events custom, which I’ve never done before.
Seems like such a simple problem. What about using AJAX to send multiple forms separately? I suppose that could work until you need one ID on a new entry to link to the other entry, which is what EventEx helps with.
