I need to do some computations which are based on somewhat generic events. Unfortunately, it seems like the API only allows a job to be triggered by a single event.
It would probably also be nice if a job could be triggered by multiple trigger types (e.g. both events as well as a cron). Is the current guidance to make a job for each trigger and share the run function between the Jobs?

I see that part of the difficulty is that the payload schema is specified on the event trigger. I think this is overcomable, though, by taking an array of triggers and unioning their payload schemas.
Also, it seems strange that I need a invokeTrigger() to be able to manually invoke my job. Shouldn't I just be able to manually invoke any job?

You’re correct that the reason we don’t allow multiple triggers on a job is because of the payloads. You can get into weird situations where they have the same key with different types…
We recommend creating multiple jobs and then just invoking or sending event to trigger the common job that does the work and has the shared schema.
