On the contrary I don't see any issues. As long as you have good naming of your projects (possibly also in separate working sets), this should be ok. It also requires that you have correct versioning av your Maven projects (i.e. the two branches have different versions).
I don't see how two eclipse instances would make this easier. I think it would rather make it more confusing.
