Is it safe to have multiple folders Rsync simultaneously into one?Each of the source folders contains a subset of the destination folder, and everybody just syncs into a master destination folder. I realize that if any two create the same file, their files will overwrite each other, but what I'm wondering is if this simultaneous sync could cause some file structure confusion in the master destination as there are many processes syncing to it at the same time.Does anybody know anything about this or have any experience with doing this?

I don't expect any problem as far as each directory have different file names and you don't use the --delete flag. The caveat is that you have to guarantee the file name uniqueness across the sources.If you have a file called foobar in more than one source, each rsync process would replace the destination foobar with its own source version.
