I think it's mostly complimentary, in the same way a linear MCP would be complementary to a MemGPT/Letta-style memory system
I guess the main potential point of confusion would arise if it's not clear to the LLM / agent which tool should be used for what. E.g. if you tell your agent to use Letta memory blocks as a scratchpad / TODO list, that functionality overlaps with Beads (I think?), so it's easy to imagine the agent getting confused due to stale data in either location. But as long as the instructions are clear about what context/memory to use for what task, it should be fine / complementary.
