Seven versions of Blender, open simultaneously: 2.71, 2.79, 2.83, 2.93, 3.30, 3.6.5, 4.0.1.

Testing to make sure they all still work. This is on Ubuntu Studio 20.04. Blender 2.69, did NOT work, by the way, but doesn't matter to my project.

After this, I got them running on my Dell PowerEdge R720 server, running Debian 11 (with no GUI installed). In order to get them all to work (using the standard download packages from Blender.org), I had to install six library packages:

For 2.71 (only):
libsdl1.2debian

For all:
libglu1-mesa
libxv1

For 3.6.5 & 4.0.1:
libxkbcommon0
libsm6
libice6

I then ran profile renders to figure out how much RAM each shot needed (and therefore how many parallel processes I can run with the 128 GB on that machine -- with Freestyle, it's pretty much RAM-limited).

It's currently chugging away on rendering parts of the "LA-Launch" sequence for the pilot. Seems to have no problem, so far. 🤞
