So would the character have to carry two sets of gear and change with each personality switch? Would the warlock even have the strength to haul around a paladin's armor and sword?
On edit: And how about changes during combat? Even with a bag of holding, the paladin would have to either fight without armor and a proper weapon or fall back and equip. The warlock would be immobile until he could drop the paladin gear. In either case, they're dropping loot on personality changes during battle. Disclaimer: I'm going off old-school Baldur's Gate and I've never played table-top, so I could be completely wrong about all of this.
In 5e, if they took their first level as Paladin, they would gain Heavy Armor Proficiency. Having proficiency in heavy armor would allow a normal Lockadin to cast their Warlock spells in armor just fine. They also both heavily favor Charisma, and if the Warlock took Pact of the Blade or Hexblade, they wouldn't even need strength for melee.
That's a normal Paladin/Warlock though, with this weird hotseat play they want to do, their self-imposed rules might not let them even use the other class' passive features, which could get awkward.
