Powering RX with a y harness

Sure.
I'll add just to be a bit careful if you have a lot of hungry servos plugged in, the servo connectors should not be trusted to handle a bunch of amps.

For simple slopies, I am a fan of the Corona FHSS four channel receiver and been running dual aileron/elevator/rudder through a Y lead with no probs.
I personally would not extend that to flaps though, as Wayne intimates, starting to get too power hungry

@Rascal if I am reading your message correctly, you are thinking that you should Y the battery into the lowest current servo. If I am misreading your message, you can stop reading now. The current going through the Y connector is the same regardless which servo you use it on. The total current for all servos is running through that one lead.
If you are concerned about that, another thing you could do is Y the battery lead as well as Y'ing a pair of servos, spreading the load across a pair of connectors.
Or, you could buy something from this page: https://alofthobbies.com/collections/power-distribution
