All the same, I advise everybody to avoid any Novus Ordo priests who were admitted into the SSPX after 2012. There is of course the infamous case of a certain Fr. Stark, which was a factor in "the nine" being expelled from the SSPX way back in the 1980s, so, this is a problem that has existed for decades. You better avoid SSPX Novus Ordo priests altogether until you are certain that have been conditionally ordained.
If an sspx chapel has 1 NO priest and 1 trad priest, what should the faithful do? Assuming there is no other latin rite trad priests anywhere nearby, should they go to an eastern Catholic rite or wait around at the sspx for the trad priest to say mass?
You can wait for the real priest to say mass, but you can never be sure about the hosts. Unless it's a mission setting, on which only one priest goes every Sunday or so, you cannot receive communion there. If I had no other option, I would try to go to the real priest's mass, but I would start to look for alternatives regarding communion and confession, even if it required traveling.
If this example happened to me the only way I could get communion would be flying out of state or going to an Eastern Rite Church (which can have it's own issues). I don't see an issue with confession as the confessional has a sign saying which priest is in.
