Due to my and disability, I am considering keeping separate winter
pots (eg for daffs) and different pots for a whole host of summer
bedding. I plan on leaving the daffs to die off in their pots during
the summer months. Would this be OK?

yes, no problem. Feed the daffs from now until they die down - whether
they flower next year depends on them building up the buds now.

The leaves will have died down by midsummer, so you might be able to use
the same pots for a late summer/autumn display.

For several years I kept going a window box mainly planted with heathers
but in the autumn hardy cyclamen would poke their way through the
heathers, and in spring I'd have miniature daffodils (daffodils 8 inches
or less high don't flop around so much in pots)

And I now have a low maintenance box on the toilet window which has
daffodils in the spring, with an underplanting of mixed succulents to
give a vegetative display for the rest of the year.
