There aren't any conflicts. I did make the following file:

# /etc/profile.d/texlive.sh
#if [ ${UID} -gt 1000 ]; then
export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
#fi

If a package on my system wants a CentOS texlive as dependency it gets 
it, there are texlive packages installed.

But users get the texlive in /usr/local/texlive

The directory /usr/local/texlive is owned by a user:group 
texlive:texlive and I log in as that user to run tlmgr to update the 
install.
