do flow names need to be unique in a given workspace or is it the deployment name + flow name combination that has to be unique?

Flow names need to be unique. Deployment names don't necessarily have to be unique

You would just overwrite the flow if you deploy a different flow with the same name within a workspace. With a deployment, two different flows could have a deployment with the same name

if I have multiple different teams/repos deploying flows, how do you recommend avoiding Flow name collision?

I would recommend naming flows based on what the flow is doing like "dbt-jobs-flow" for example

I would also recommend tagging flows as that can help keep track off the different flows/deployment names

so there's no good way to avoid those collisions? the DE team and the ML might have their own `dbt-jobs-flow`

I guess the Flow does <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/bfcb3d0926145caa7dce96d18678264aeeed600d/src/prefect/flows.py#L304-L309|warn about this> ...
