I want some Gnome features that perfectly complement my workspace, but I can't switch to a distro that has Gnome by default. I want and will continue using Linux Mint. So, I'd like to install Gnome as a secondary install, keeping Cinnamon intact, as in two different profiles. Is this possible?

I read on a blog that Cinnamon shares some dependencies with Gnome and that if I decide to uninstall Gnome at some point, it could break Cinnamon. Is this true? If this happens, is the solution as simple as reinstalling via TTY?

yep
or just make a timeshift snapshot right now, INCLUDING hidden home folder stuff in the preferences of timeshift
then u can just restore back to it.
(delete all your browser caches for space savings on that backup)
Bleachbit helps.
you can also comment the snapshot so u know in future.
since it's a manually invoked one, it wont get overwritten by scheduled timeshift saves

So it's something simple?
