A platform event trigger runs in its own process asynchronously and isn’t part of the transaction that published the event. As a result, there might be a delay between when an event is published and when the trigger processes the event. Don’t expect the result of the trigger’s execution to be available immediately after event publishing.

It would be very useful to have multiple triggers set off the same flow, especially if they are similar triggers. For example, right now if I have a BI alert for two different tiles that are both cards that must email the same people, I need to create two flows.
