After more than 20 years of doing this on UNIX and more than 10 on Linux I can count on one hand the number of times I've found issues related to separate filesystems as opposed to the plethora I've seen when it is all on one.

If it's testing out a new OS version or application that I know
nothing about, yeah, one big fs is fine. Mostly to see what gets what
and then re-do it properly.
