It will be ok to bring in xingyi, taiji, whatever. Various sparring formats (with safety equipment) etc. can be used: hands only, kickboxing, throws only, etc. and you change it up.
I'm not planning to do this, but if a bunch of RSF people happened to be nearby, I sure would be tempted to join you.

Incorporating boxing seems good. Then what is the difference with MMA? Basically I guess you zhan zhuang and Shi Li on your own then go spar MMA. Seems fine by me.
