You can run both. There might be issues with the metadata going back and forth. Not sure. Haven't done it myself. There are definitely people doing this out there.
Jellyfin can read nfo files on disk and you can set it to never modify the files, or you could set Jellyfin to keep all of its metadata in its own DB and never put metadata in the same folder with the media files. Either way it's entirely doable to prevent a metadata loop like you're describing
