Hi William,
Greetings from Syncfusion.
We have validated your query, you can set either a single view model to the content page or separate view model for each listview based on your requirement. We have created a sample for this. Please find the sample from below link.
Sample Link:
In this sample, we have added three-tab item with listview as the tab item content and set the separate view model for each listview.
Please get back to us, if you have any other queries.
