Yes mixing repos could lead to some issues. There are several ways around: 1. use a virtual machine or other machine to keep them separate (1a would be a chroot) 2. use apt-pinning to select and keep the versions of particular things a certain way, some dependencies may break with this method.
Option 1a while complicated would let you use multiple versions at the same time without VM overhead.
