You can have multiple logical decoding streams in parallel that track 
their position independently of each other.  So you can have a logical 
replication stream and wal2json next to each other, and they won't 
interfere with each other.  So what you are considering is possible and 
safe.  (I don't know whether it will give you satisfactory insights.)
