s/not advisable/problematic/ would sound a bit stronger IMHO

Maybe give some rationale and mention that volume IDs are not unique
anymore with such a configuration and that PVE expects that in certain
places, maybe giving a quick example. And we could also mention that in
case the content types is different, it can be fine, but still not
recommended.
