RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Yes we can ;-)

... at least in all cases where you use SikuliX in one of the standard ways
- running the IDE using the provided run scripts
- running scripts from command line using the provided run scripts

In these cases no environment settings are needed at all.

There is one quirk currently on Windows, when you are using the sikuli-java.jar or the other jars outside the provided run scripts:
- with 1.0.1 you need the path entry to SikuliX libs in the environment
- version 1.1.0 does this on the fly at runtime (no need for manual actions anymore)
So in this scenario when switching between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0, there might be cases, when the wrong libs are referenced in the path.
Only in this case you have to be fully aware, what you are doing.
The best solution is to consequently use batch scripts, that use set local and provide the path setting only for this run. 

So knowing all that, it is no problem, to have both versions on the same
machine.

My setup on the different machines I use is:
- version 1.0.1 is in a folder .../SikuliX10
- version 1.1.0 is in a folder .../SikuliX11

additionally I have my development environment in NetBeans, where I run
SikuliX from the compiled classes (I do not have ready-to-use jars in
this case).

All works well.

*** I'd like to help out by trying the Beta of IDE 1.1.0.
... I really appreciate any help.
But you should wait, until I provide 1.1.0-Beta1 in a version, that can be setup.

Though currently it is possible, to try it with the GitHub repo (you
need at least Maven on your machine), the effort might not be worth. It
might be worth, if you want to contribute something, but this does not
seem to be your intention.

The next days,  I will update the description, how to get ready to use jars from the sources on GitHub.
Then you might give it a try, if you want.
