I dont know what to tell you..... Seems kind of redundant since both can be used as a grafting stock.....

And both can be grafted together. Why not. Most of us just graft for experimentation so why not do anything weird.

If you have plants and room to spare, yeah, sure. Frankly those two are the only cacti that i have that bloom yearly.
The rest is either too small or dead.
What really bums me out that all grower grown echinopsis chamacereus and oxygona keep dying on me. Guess i should reppot them on purchase... in retrospect.

grafting the Schlumbergera opuntioides isn't really redundant, as it can be very picky and slow growing on its own roots, and go years without flowering. However i agree it isn't really necessary to graft the other two. Then again, those were probably done as a trial, to see how well it would work for other (rarer) flat clade schlumbergera.
