After finding the right search terms (concatenating hash functions), I found a few stackexchange discussions about this, which lead me to other methods like truncating a stronger hash function[1], and chaining hash functions[2]. Apparently TLS already concatenates MD5 and SHA1 [2][3].
Given that the article is about collision attacks and not preimage resistance, that was my main thought when thinking of the issue. I'll leave it to the experts to figure out what's the best for cryptographic hash functions.
