There's honestly little point especially if you're just hopping between distros that use the same package manager/come from the same distro family, but everyone who starts out on Linux does it, so you might as well. In my first year using Linux, I basically went:
Laptop: Ubuntu -> Linux Mint Cinnamon DE -> Lubuntu -> Crunchbang (defunct distro with Bunsenlabs as its successor)
Desktop: Linux Mint Cinnamon DE -> Linux Mint xfce DE
on top of various distro I tried out in VMs but never installed like ElementaryOS.
If you don't want the hassle of setting up Ventoy, use this: https://distrosea.com/ You're basically remoting in to various VMs of distros someone has set up.
