Most DE's are designed not to conflict with any other DE
Yesno :D, for some more or less exceptional cases, regarding so called
major DEs, you and I know better :p. A "conflict" might not be the right
term for some issues, users could experience.
I would reduce it to switching between window mangers, never does cause
an issue, but switching between desktop environments not necessarily
does, but always could come with a pitfall.
The main thing is user config files which may be the same filename from DE
to DE or worse, one DE might expand a user config file in a way another
might not understand. Also, if there is a studio specific login and a DE
login for the same DE, whichever login you use first will set user configs
in the way that login sets up. Most DEs have a DE specific sub directory
of .config, but in the case where the DE is just a modified version of
another DE... who knows.
In general most people pick the DE they want and always use it.
