That's not very good advice, especially for a beginner. The Pi will throttle the CPU before it allows itself to overheat. You don't really need to think too carefully about what you want to do. The OS does that for you, which is why we have them. If you aren't getting the performance you want or expect then maybe you need to re-evaluate your requirements, but that's the same for any system.Absolutely, running multiple applications shouldn't be a problem..
It might be a good idea though to keep an eye on the usage (Not trying to put you off but, just worth keeping an eye on if you are running multiple applications simultaneously.)
In my experience over doing it has caused overheating and crashing, probably more towards when I first started using the PI and once you start understanding it more and its ability you tend to think about what you are trying to do and the best way to reach the best possible results.
You could use top to monitor CPU Usage, Open terminal and enter top, you should see all the processes running & the % of CPU Usage. Might be worth having everything open you intent to use simultaneously and then check over whether its towards the top end of whether its enough and you still have optimum level of usage available.
If you want to check how much Ram is being used, you could use the command vmstat and it will pretty much the same to top command used previously.
Like I said earlier, I think you should run them all and then use top and vmstat to check over everything is looking good for optimum use.
If you have any other questions, just ask away
In this case the answer is yes, but, as mentioned, heavy load on one subsystem, such as NextCloud may slow down another subsystem, such as Octoprint. But it might not, as the OS should manage load distribution sensibly. You might also need to fiddle with the web servers as each of these applications exposes a web interface. Therefore the web server has to be configured to allow them to play nicely with each other.
