What issues you have faced trying to install multiple desktop
environment to the same Debian installation? Display managers allow to
select session type before login (but some can not remember per-user
preferences).
I do not expect serious issues with multiple Linux flavors. Perhaps
installer should be switched to expert mode to adjust some defaults.
If you still prefer to have independent Debian installations then in the
case of UEFI and shim-signed+grub-efi-amd64 (for Secure Boot) on the
same ESP partition see

You need grub 2.12 from bookworm-backports and custom GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR
in /etc/default/grub.
Despite in that thread I was trying to concentrate on selecting OS from
UEFI firmware menu, Felix Miata repeatedly insisted on using grub menu
for this purpose. In your case grub menu may be easier to maintain.
Perhaps Felix may provide more details now to do it conveniently.
