I doubt anyone can tell you definitively. It would depend for one thing on the behavior of the SFTP server if two or more clients tried to access the same file. If the first one to try caused the server to lock the file, then the second one to try would presumably get a 'file in use' error, and that second profile would record a Failure because of it (but would carry on with the next file).
If the SFTP server did not lock the file, then conceivably corruption could occur, yes. It depends to a great extent whether both clients were trying to write at the same time, or one read, one write, but you could still get corruption (incorrect data) being read if the file was being written to at the same time as it was being read
Frankly I would arrange for segregation of access unless you're sure. Think about what would happen if somehow a corrupt file was created, then opened locally and edited (LastModified stamp changed, anyhow). It could happen that next time around, this corrupt/edited version looks the newest and gets propagated back to the SFTP server - and then to all the clients...
