I have a few various cultivated brambles I've planted, 'Royalty' purple raspberry, some 'Chester' Blackberries, & a couple varieties of red & black raspberries as well.

I was browsing the Oikos website, actually looking for some hybrid oaks and chestnuts to plant, but came across a "yellow black raspberry" they offer. It appears to be a seedgrown selection of wild black raspberry with unusual fruit color. I'd like to buy a few, but I seem to remember, years ago, that cultivated brambles shouldn't be planted near wild ones due to disease pressure - does this apply here, too?

Or is this an overblown concern?

It's not an overblown concern. But considering that they come from a nursury, I would say chances are a lot less that the wild types have virus problems. It's probably OK.
I grow both, but not together. I have a cottage and grow the wild types up there and grow the cultivated brambles here in the city.

I've seen those on the Oikos website, Joe. Assuming these are seeds they grow themselves right there at the nursery, using typical sterile container medium (they sell them potted) then the chances of virus are pretty small.
