Yes, you can do exactly that. The only "scary hidden dependency" or
anything like that is to make sure the "Automatically update styles"
box in the Templates & Add-Ins dialog is unchecked except when you
specifically want to update the document's styles to use different
definitions from the newly attached template.

I've been using a template for a group of documents but now realize one
subgroup is different and needs its own separate template. Can I copy the
template with a new name and attach it to these documents? What kind of scary
hidden dependencies can I expect?
