I would say yes that modern wires are insulated enough BUT they should still be separated because with age (or maybe they really aren't insulated enough) they may begin to loose their insulating ability. If voltage starts to leak out I can think of lots of bad things that can happen.
I also agree that you should separate them.
for what its worth...each of those wires creates its own EMF...having them close together will create a "cross talk" situation where the EMF from 1 wire will join with the EMF of another...In this situation I dont really think it would do much. BUT... Having the wires separated also prevent cross talk as EMF is reduced exponentially by the Sq of the distance.
