Yes, it works. There are those who obviously wouldn't take kindly to that, and I think a better strategy longer term is just to request a feature to essentially override settings like this in a request. It's ugly, but if that's what it takes to make these ignorant systems function properly then so be it I guess. Better than lying to everybody else.

There are some additional needs I think like being able to configure multiple copies of a login flow targeted to different relying parties without having to actually copy web flows.

Why would that help? And no, there is no support for that.

I think you should strongly consider picking one SSO system. If not Shibboleth, that's fine, but running two is just not in anybody's long term interest.
