No, you get the best of both worlds

You can leave the sequential box in a suitable gear and use the car box for day to day stuff / reverse.

Also you can stick the car box in a suitable gear and then use the sequential box if you fancy a thrash or a track day.

You would have 30 forward gears and 6 reverse

You would need to sort out a solenoid paddle shift or extra lever for the bike box and there would be extra frictional losses running two boxes.
