I have not had an issue with that in years. 10 years ago I would agree
and I did use the partition back then, but I even managed to upgrade
from windows 7 to windows 10 on my dual boot system and windows didn't
even blink and left grub in charge much to my surprise.
So if openSUSE suggest the partition, then they are very out of date
and making a bad recomendation.
