I think the question should be more of its common to have subdomains run
as part of the same mail system as main domain. More to the point if that
happens is that any more different (and more common) then having shared
mail server environment and are the rules for having subdomains on the
same mail server supposed to be different then for shared mail server?

Yes, sub-domains are very common in the corporate environment. For example,
we are always running the "latest beta" of our MTA on our internal servers to
maximize testing. However, our customer support manager does not want me to
run experimental software that is sometimes breaking unexpectedly which might
prevent him from getting help to the customers when they need it. So, they
run their own production versions of the MTA on a different sub-domain
(helpdesk.altn.com) rather than on the development network (devel.altn.com).
We also have other sub-domains like sales.altn.com for the same reasons. This
is common.
