I did made hundreds of Anki cards on that basis with 2 to 3 answers and my conclusion is that it's a bad idea. Given "what fires together wires together" cards like that seem to create links between the question and the wrong answers.
The typical deck is going to be different for different people.
There's also a risk that you become dependent on being able to look for the answer visually rather than being able to fish it out of year head; in most real-world cases, it's the latter skill you need.
Yes, depending on how you need the knowledge that's an issue. But it's an issue that I would expect most smart people to be conscious of when they make the decision to make cards like this.
The effect I mentioned isn't easily anticipated and it took me a lot of empirical study to find that it's there.
