But I think you are allowed to have mar cannectors in the box and you can run 2 circuits on one ground and one common. No?

2 circuits can share a ground but I would only share a neutral with a 3-wire only.o
Yeah when I used to do old work residential it was always scary removing a neutral from a terminal shared with another neutral, bc I had no idea what load the other circuit was under. Generally once the panels were fully loaded like that (and looked like a rat nest of wires), any panel schedule/directory was totally unreliable. That code explanation makes perfect sense.
So the solution, if you had to add a circuit, would be to double lug a couple of grounds to free up space on the bus, then you could terminate the added neutral.
