I mean in a way where you’d get 2 different X/Wayland sessions to select in your login manager.
I have also never run into issues doing this, just have always been told it’s a bad idea.
eh. only vaguely.
basically, there might be some conflicts, such as a different icon theme being selected, but for the most part, things are fine - and most distros, uninstall is straightforward.
one more significant issue you might run into is display manager changes. Gnome may not always play nicely with a kde display manager, and vice versa, regarding sleep, lock, etc. however, i think all of those issues are pretty much fixed these days.
Be free! Install all the DEs/WMs your heart desires.
Regarding the multiple entries for X and Wayland versions of a particular DE: for the most part, I think xwayland has solved this, but as always–for better or worse–you have the freedom to go either way.
