Hi! I think most of people here have applied several one-off patches successfully, at least I have. But the issue is, as the name says, the one-off patches are only for fixing a certain bit of behaviour, they havent been tested in heavy-loaded envrionments where they could affect each other. But eventually these one-offs make their way to patchsets, which are stress tested for reliability. So, you are on your own risk when going with multiple one-offs, but in my experience it has worked. Others may have different experience, though..
