Native speaker here, so don't ask me what's grammatically accurate :D  I
would definitely say "step on" vs. "step over".  I would also write
"each other's toes", but not flinch if I read "each others' toes" or
even "each others toes".

After thinking about it for more that 30s, I might consider rewording
the sentence to avoid the idiom altogether, something like:  "Therefore
they need to coordinate to avoid interfering with each other."
