Well, to some extent one can evaluate the compatibility of two mods from the features they affect and by having a quick look into their respective files, but I agree that the more mods are enabled, the more are their interactions, and the harder is tracking down every potential source of problems.

Sub flags, in several ways: see

ID conflicts have also been shown to be wildly variable! It may take special conditions to cause a crash.
Such as being near Units that have ID clashes.

Well said, this could explain some herratic and mysterious crashes.
Nonetheless, we must also consider that a 16-digit hex number can assume values from 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,552,000 lol. Unless we consider human error as a factor, the evenience of randomly duplicated Id's is extremely unlikely
