Any tips on maintaining two differently configured daemons

Any tips on maintaining two differently configured daemons

[Tim Johnson]

Using GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.30)

on ubuntu 16.04

I have a a specialized console configuration running as a daemon and I 
configured ubuntu so that emacsclient will be my system editor.

I also run emacs as a gui instance, using .emacs.d/init.el as the 
configuration path. I intend to set this gui instance up as a daemon 
also. Not that it loads slow, I've got a solid-state drive.

Since it seems like I'm constantly tinkering with emacs, it is 
inevitable that I will end up modifying and reloading packages and other 
elisp files. Some of those will be shared by both instances.

Any caveats or gotchas I should watch out for?

thanks

I probably should fine-tune this question by a more specific example:

My daemon config of emacs uses ~/.emacs.d/init_term.el is the init file. 
Which in turn loads several byte-compiled elisp files via 'require

Suppose that I byte compile one of those files via my gui instance of 
emacs, currently running as non-daemon. If I apply load-file to 
~/.emacs.d/init_term.el, should I not expect those dependent elisp files 
to be sourced as well? I might assume so, but since I am new to using 
daemon mode, I would want to insure that is the case.
