There is no harm whatsoever. Ardour will write, and QJackctl can
write, ~/.jackdrc so that auto-started JACK servers will be created
with the same parameters as "last time". But if JACK is already
running, Ardour does nothing like this, and ditto for QJackctl. As Rui
has pointed out, its even an option whether or not QJackctl writes
this file at all.
