Im now looking at something like this to allow me to connect the screen + a few other jumper wire bits like buttons: https://thepihut.com/products/breakout-pizero
I wonder if this would have the same issue?:

Very probably, yes.

You need to find out which pins your display uses. With very few exceptions those pins cannot be used for a different purpose while the screen is connected.

If the display uses all the GPIO neither of those boards will help and you'll need to be more creative.

The issue isn't one of being able to physically connect more than one wire to a pin. It's one of whether a pin is free for use.
