Yes, shavings on vinyl can be slippery...they get used to it. Never had an injury from it, and it's often quite amusing.

I'd just cut the bottom off that nest bank and use to lumber to make a perch for the 4 top nests, mount it all on the wall.

The usual I've heard was 1 nest per 3-5 birds. I have 4 and have had up to 20 birds, I have 13 now. There' is occasionally a traffic jam or some squabbling, but it's worked out fine..

Not really, just it's taking up some potential floor space....and if you raise the whole thing they may sleep in it.

You only need 4 nests.

Maybe. How many birds will you have, in how big a coop? Here's my thoughts about heights: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/coop-stack-up-how-high-stuff-works-well.73427/

I have poop boards too. Both the boards and the floor are covered with heavy duty foam backed vinyl sheet flooring. It wasn't cheap, but I bartered for parts of the cost, and it's held up well for 10 years now.
