In your scenario, surely the question that remains is not "why the
divided monarchy?" but "why the united monarchy?" In other words, if
the Israelites had such a diverse origin, what made them (even
temporarily) into a single united people, with a single language and
at least to some extent a single faith?

Is it not more likely it goes back to separate migrations of the Arameans
from
Syria on the one hand and the Hebrews from the regions adjacent to southern
Palestine on the other during the so-called Patriarchal era?
