Why not?

My whole desk runs via one outlet. And one circuit can take at least ~1600W in America or ~3200W in most of europe so....

The power draw shouldn't exceed whatever the socket and power strip are rated for. Otherwise, as long as the power in your home is stable, it should be fine. I've run my PC, monitor and laptop from the same power strip for years.

Yes, as long as the strip itself isn't connected to another strip with devices connected to it as well, in which case you might overload the previous strip.
