Storage is super cheap these days. Just buy an extra hard drive for Windows and boot into that on the rare occasion you truly need to use Windows. Or just use a VM.

You could just use a VM or put on the same disk. There is no reason to spend extra money

Windows has a bad habit of fucking up Linux boot partitions when it updates, so proceed with caution if you decide to keep them on one disk.

I've never had an issue

That's great for you. Doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist, though.
