Yes, you can run srsRAN on any headless OS. It's just a console application.

You can also run multiple instances at the same time. In fact we are 
running dozens of instances containerized on a single physical machine 
in our CI/CD pipeline all the time.

If you're running with real RF hardware you might be performance limited 
though.

See above.
