I am using Suitcase with Multifinder 1.0 with no problems.  The only
restriction (it's documented in the Suitcase manual with respect to
Switcher and Servant) is that you can't open new font or da files
while the multitasking software is running.  Doesn't bother me much.
It would bother me less if you could quit from Multifinder without
rebooting, but you can't...

Apple: please consider this for a future release.  You may be hoping
that it will become less necessary to exit Multifinder as more
software becomes compatible, but I think there will always be some
programs and some system level operations which want the whole
machine.  For example, standalone backup.
