I do not see any advantages to having more than one converter. Except for messing up the economy . Is it normal to have more planets with resource converters, and what good is it for?

Backups. What if that first planet gets glassed and you are relying on converting those 600k surplus orgs and rads per turn from your monoliths to minerals each turn so you can have 100 more ships? A backup or two is a good idea, and it costs a tiny fraction of the facility space in the empires as a whole.
