So the crux: Ways of keeping these two groups mostly seperate, in the sense of being able to use one setting to get two different types of space campaign.

Perhaps the jump gates put out some kind of interference that gives a penalty to using the jump drive, i.e. it makes it even harder "to get the harmonics right".
