I find it entirely possible and it's my normal work flow to mix a little tidyverse in with base R without going against the grain, the worst it gets its probably converting data from long to wide format now and again but the functionality to do so is intuitive and simple. Bigger differences between graphics but there wouldn't be a need to mix ggplot grid graphics and base r graphics in the same plot (although panels in the same multi figure plot for example is trivial).
