Having two writters to single file without protection (serialization) is
call for trouble. I wouldnt call this harmless. Yes, I know probablity
is very low. Still it is posible. Also AFAIK qjackctl uses different
configuration file and just can export to ~/.jackdrc

Newbie question: Is it harmful to have QJackctl and Ardour both running
at the same time? Do they have to potential to fight eachother, or to
make changes to the Jack environment that will be made by one but not
realized by the other, either in regard to jackd parameters, or in
regard to the connection patchbays?
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.
