It's not bad to use multiple instances, but there is a resource cost incurred by doing so. It's unlikely that you'll have a conflict between the datasources within a single server instance, but more likely that you might have a conflict between mappings, I guess. That said, it's a lot of work to switch your server configuration just to get a "clean slate" for a single application.
