You only need to be concerned about multiple slaves having the same 'Remote FS root' if they are located on the same computer :-) I have all of my slaves configured with '/jenkins' for their remote FS and they work fine, because they are all one slave per computer.

Make sure no two slaves use the same one. You can still use a shared directory in the $HOME for tools etc -- you could define an environment variable TOOLS_DIR that points there, and use it in the job scripts. There's no reason to put that into the slave's root dir, which should probably be left alone to be managed by Jenkins anyway.
