...two valid visas at the same time. For the second one to be used, the first one must first be cancelled.

This is an excellent point that nimadecaomei brings up.

It sounds like a hassle to get an L visa first to come over here and then have to go back to then get the ball rolling on a Z visa--that's just my two jiao though.

Yes, you would need to get the ball rolling on the Z visa first, then enter on a L visa (with the school's agreement/permission).
I was very lucky my school not only agreed to do this but they also paid my expenses (flight + accom in HK) when it was time to get my Z visa. Not every school will do this I'm sure.
To be clear, just because I did this from my home country, I'd never advise newbies to China to do it! Far too much scope for disaster, now that I know more about how China operates!!
