If you want a majority government, half the political spectrum must twist itself into a pretzel. The key issue is will the people in question try to find common ground, or do they prefer to play identity politics. The most stable government coalition in Finnish history was Lipponen's first government in 1995-1999. It consisted of SDP, National Coalition Party (center-right), the Greens, the Left, and Swedish People's Party (center). The coalition was stable enough that it lasted the full four-year term and another three years after the elections. Government stability is ultimately about people. Are those people willing to work together, or do they let political labels get in the way.
