My studio computer has an SSD with two partitions - one with Sierra and one with High Sierra. No issues. I’ve also wiped that HS partition and installed Sierra on it. Again, no issues.
It’s the same as buying a new drive and having to format it from its existing FAT or NTFS to HFS etc. You can erase partitions and have different formats. There is no issue. This is exactly how Bootcamp works on a Mac. One drive, two partitions, two different file systems.

Thanks much to the two of you - you've put my mind to rest. As I said I researched this and just couldn't find definitive answers one way or the other. Gives me something to do this weekend. I've got time between projects so it should be a good time to forge ahead.
