Yeah the dump area idea is probably less wasteful. You can mix extruder types sure as long as each is calibrated correctly.

There's a lot to commend mixing hotends like diamond such as wipe and prime-free colour printing, Ian is resident expert there. Switching is just easier in some ways, trickier in others.

To be fair I got dual extrusion setup and working then gave up on it as my flying bracket was making my machine heavy, slow and less accurate. Dual/triple cable driven extruders would probably be the optimum.

Once the bed was level you could also take readings at several points around the bed and create your mesh file manualy so it handles the Z movements automatically.

To manually read without a probe you would need to enable negative movements then jog the probe down to a sheet of paper with the -0.01 macro then record that position for the meshfile
