Yes.

A possible solution for many parallel requests (you need to verify its
viability) could be some kind of containerization (e.g. Docker or something
more low-level). If every request is handled by a new container then all
operations are nicely isolated and nothing can break.

Thanks for the answer. If i run the command every time in a different shell
or with a different user, will this help? I am not familiar with docker.
