Inkscape really doesn't like doing repeated Stroke-to-Path operations. This is breaking my heart because it looks great with the nested outlines ending in the Philadelphia pride colours, but the last outline has all sorts of shape aberrations.

Anybody know a great way around that?

Okay, found a solution! Keep duplicating the first path and growing its stroke to the desired size and then Stroke-to-Path. Much closer to the results with a computed stroke

@cargot_robbie I think you might want to take a look at Path > Dynamic Offset to help you adjust the size easily. As for the multiple strokes, there is no "easy" way currently without duplicating the path afaicr. Inkscape does not have the "Multiple strokes" feature found in other commercial programs. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/work_items/12878 shows how it's done elsewhere (You can 👍 the issue if you'd like to see it implemented some day).

I’d like to suggest adding the ability to assign multiple strokes, fills, and patterns to individual paths. Commercial design applications (Adobe, Affinity, VectorStyler) usually provide this...
