Worth noting that multivitamins are associated with very slightly increased mortality in the general population. Cochrane put this down to them overdosing A, E, and beta-carotene, which I don’t expect vegans to be deficient in, so the finding might transfer. (Sounds like you’ve done blood tests though, so ignore me if it helps you.)
I haven’t dug through the studies, but these were specific supplements, not multivitamins, right? I’d imagine ~100% recommended daily value in a multivitamin and ~200% in your entire diet is safe for pretty much any nutrient, but ya, some multivitamins go way over for some nutrients (although are typically below upper limits). Supplements for specific nutrients may be worse.
I use https://labdoor.com/ to pick supplements. The multivitamin I’m using now is poorly-rated, but significantly above average for safety, including all nutrients below upper limits, but maybe the upper limits are set too high.
