The way that oVirt manage storage domains accessed via FC is very smart.
There is separate logical volume for each virtual disk. But I think that
logical volume at the same time could be "touched" only by one host. Is
it possible that two host access read/write the same logical volume and
there is no data corruption?

hence a shared disk over block storage using LVM must be
pre-allocated, so no LV changes (lv extend) would be needed.
By using "pre-allocated" here, even for qcow on KVM? If it is
pre-allocated, there is no benefit to use qcow.

(also, it cannot have snapshots, since it would become qcow)
Why it can not have snapshots? I think qcow on the block device can also
have snapshots.

of course, and we use it all the time, but not for shared disk, since then you'd need to sync the qcow metadata changes between the two active VMs writing to it
