I practice Karate and Aikijujutsu with Iaido. Aikijujutsu and Iaido complement very well but as of yet (I haven't been doing the first two very long) there has been no 'conflict' between techniques in Karate (Goju Kai) and the Aikijujutsu I'm learning.
If you enjoy Karate you should never quit it. However some very wise senpai have told me that you have to be careful about confusing techniques between the arts. If you can actually differentiate between them without getting confused (i.e. NOT going oh no is this a karate kamae or an aikijujutsu one?) then I believe you can handle them both. That said, there are many principles that overlap anyways.
