While I agree with the principle in your point, does Galileo operate on a different enough set of frequencies to avoid interference that would knock out GPS?

This is not correct. The primary civilian signal for both Galileo and GPS have the same frequency on L1, 1575.42 MHz. Their modulation schemes and encoding are coordinated to not interfere. [1]
