I have no issue running the Windows CMD with MSYS2's binaries in my PATH.
They probably do conflict, but I've never seen any negative effects from
it. If you make heavy use of shell scripting, I could see it being a bad
idea.
I would recommend using the MSYS2 shell, though. It is better in a few ways
than CMD.
