The definitive answer to this question comes from Hilton Honors Ambassador:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31877429-post215.html
A higher level contact than I reached out to previously confirms that both the stay and nights that began in 2019 on a crossover such as this will count for 2020.

Check out after night 1; check back in for night 2 under wife/partner's name; do same again in reverse for night 3. You lose some points, you gain in stay credits.

Does the nights in 2010 count for 2011 status instead? I mean the stay 30th of December until the 2nd of January is 3 nights. Will you have one stay credit and three nights when you check on the 2nd even though its only the 2nd night of the year?

Smart idea. THat would work REALLY good if they have the double miles promo again for Q4 and WN is your earnings partner. Only problem I would have is it is a PITA changing rooms and I don't see a hotel willing to let you keep the same room all three nights.

The way the multiple stays could work is if both guests shared a HHonors Mutual Fund Account (that means the nights and stays accrue to the same account, and the hotel might be better persuaded to allow remaining in the same room). I'm not saying it absolutely would, because we have not tried it. (Yes, they still exist - either grandfathered in previously existing account, or those newer ones granted by HGVC.)

Yes, you will get 3 nights/1 stay credit for 2011.

Will stay #28 requal me for diamond if its on 12/31?
Hi all,
Does the diamond qualification by stays count the for the year if it happened within the year or does it count by when it's posted to the account? There's usually a several day lag between when I stay and when I get the 'thanks for the stay' email... wanted to avoid having my 28th stay on 12/31 and it maybe counting toward 2011 instead of 2010. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks!

Would that mean all the nights would post on January 1st as well? This is slightly more than academic for me (though it isn't going to change my plans so I could just wait for the nights to post to see) as I have more than qualified for this year and have a 6 night stay ending on January 1st. Would be nice to get those 6 nights to count towards next year instead of 5 of them (or maybe all 6?) counting towards this year.

Marriott works differently
This was my experience too with Hilton.
And it is interesting to note that Marriott program works differently on this:

All the nights will post on your check out date.
Even if you check out and into the same hotel night, they will be combined into one stay and it will post on your check out date.
If you change hotels each night they would count as separate stays, but at the same hotel they would not.
