I think, if there is problems with GWC, you can remove the gwc.jar from the instance you wouldn't want to use it in. But I'm not 100% sure, if I'm right on these issues. I have had, if I recall right, some 5-6 instances of Geoserver in same Tomcat few years back, but they were 1.7 branch. So maybe things have changed.. though I doubt.
