If on heating, surely lines insulated together is a no no
So on cooling mode no big deal liquid & suction together if metering device on condensing unit.
On reverse cycle discharge & liquid line together, so poorer performance, 70 or so deg C discharge & 22 deg C liquid line touching each other, or close proximity.
Re: both lines in same insualtion
Interesting thoughts have been raised by this question.
Whilst I was firmly convinced that it would not be best practice and this still is my gut feeling, I am unable to add conclusive proof either way.
The Wrights wacpac units were normally cooling only, so it would be liquid and suction line together, as the expansion valve would have been on the DX coil, creating a full length heat exchanger which may well have marginally improved the operational efficiency.
Re: both lines in same insualtion
Methinks some confuse efficiency with capacity, but... carry on.

Gary,
Good to see you back on board.
