Well, if you want to co-install apps, you need to rename the binaries,
so renaming the desktop files at the same time is fine.  But, in
practice, I doubt it's worth the bother.

But even if that were not the case, I don't see why there'd be a clash.
 kde4 apps install to share/applications/kde4, kf5-based (well,
actually, e-c-m-based apps) to share/applications.
