Sure. My commuter has two sets of wheels, summer slicks and winter studs.
My "nice" MTB has three sets. Dry, muddy, icy.

The commuter has two different flavors of Shimano. They interchange entirely w/o issues. Can't vouch for how it'd work "generally". Haven't tried that many.

Depends on your luck and skill.
The wheelsets for the MTB is more of a mixed bag.
One even has reground cones.
Two of them have been matched by adding shims under the locknut on one wheel.
The latest pair to be integrated was a tad wider, there, I've settled for a twist on the barrel adjuster instead of reshimming the others.
