The effects of intertextuality/consilience of practices would certainly be intriguing in the myth and magic as magic would almost inevitably collide with science in a high fantasy reality.
Procedurally generated discoveries, errors, and dogma will also add to the realism of cultural evolution. (although this will probably deserve a thread of its own right)

I don't think it would collide with science in a high-magic.  That is because science is not a dogma, it is a method that does not inherently care if magic is involved or not, so it is quite possible to scientifically integrate magic in a high-magical world as a separate 'thing' which is either present or not.

The problem is more when we have small amounts of magic in a medium-to-low magic world.  Science struggles with non-ubiquitous things because they are not so easy to replicate.  If there is a lot of magic then magic can be reliably observed and proven experimentally, but if there is only a little magic then 'plausible mundane explanations' become credible rivals, leading to the kind of conflicts you are talking about.
