System Information
Operating system: Linux
Graphics card: RTX 2060

Blender Version
3.0.0 alph daily build of Thursday 2021jun24, and several previous daily builds.

Short description of error
Geometry Nodes Boolean Union (when given 3 or more input shapes) leads to flickering point distributions when rendered.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
see attached .blend file
test035_geNoBoolUnion.blend

flickering problem is only visible after render. This first video goes with the .blend file. Watch the shadows.
test035_geNoBoolUnion.08.mp4

Because the preceding example is the bare minimum that exhibits the problem, I am also attaching the following video from a more complex .blend file. One cannot miss the flickering in this more complicated example.
test031_geNoBoolUnion.01.mp4

just in case you want the more complex .blend file:

@shannonz-1 There has been a recent fix with booleans. See #89330.
Can you try again with a new build and confirm whether the issue still exists?

I can't reproduce on either test037_geNoBoolUnion.blend or test031_geNoBoolUnion.blend.
Can you try on the latest daily build or the stable 3.0 release? Does it still happen in those versions?

Just a poke regarding my inquiry above, otherwise we will have to archive this for now.
