That is indeed an option

Correct, again, an option

  | For the same idea, which is 2 Tasks one for HR and one for Accounting (at least in the BA point of view) I'm not using the same objects of my domain model to implement it. I'm just wondering if this is ok.... ? Yes, the implementation works fine in both cases but what if one day I'm stuck because I found out I can do some specific reporting in one case but not in the other case since the implementation is different ?

Then you have the same api at you disposal and you can 'migrate' the tasks or the complete processes by deploying a new processdefinition (or changing the existing one as you found out is also possible) and place the part of the tokens in the new tasknodes. Since you obviously want to minimize that and have clear e.g. swimlanes, make sure in advance (design time) things are split.
