Intuitively, this indeed should be a problem. But it would help if you could list some specific issues that you faced.
Well, the most obvious is that you can undock e.g. a fill and stroke dialog from every document window, at which point you have many identical dialogs with no indication of which one belongs to which document. Nor do undocked panels go away when their parent document is closed. It is very frustrating (and also space-consuming).
As far as I can tell, the only way to keep this under control is to share a single undocked instance between documents, with the traditional "current document" behavior for dialogs.
Alternately, we could get rid of undocking.
