Hello!
I guess most (all) of the distro's you are talking about use GRUB (or
at least they allow to do it). If that's true, I'm pretty sure you can
happily let them overwrite the GRUB in MBR as many times as they want,
since it's the same (or just probably minor version differences)

This forces me to jump through hoops when installing a new Linux
distro:
File a bug!
If that's true, it basically
For many years, I've used a hard drive on which I have 8-10 Linux
distros installed -- each in a separate (single) partition.
There is also a single swap partition (used by all of the different
Linux installations).
There is also a small partition devoted only to the "master" instance
