Zero reasons to enter Thailand on her US passport. It creates needless immigration hassles.
My wife enters America on her US and Thailand on her Thai and has had zero issues.

My wife enters for shorter periods on Thai, but it's always a worry that if there is some sort of a Thailand issue things might go south. So my thoughts are to be safe she mostly enters on Aus Passport to eliminate being treated as a Thai Citizen. Just my thoughts 🤔
