You can start doing fancy stuff once you can at least get booted one time, I would say.
Sure, it’s great to multiboot six OSs once you get the very basics going, but too many people are still stuck in Kindergarten when they are thinking “Grad school”.
To be honest, I find it much easier to just use a separate drive for other OSs, but then I have the luxury of many available drive bays and many available drives, and not everyone has that.
