Personally I would (extremely cautiously) have tactical unity with damn near anyone, including people I can’t stand or even people I think are evil mfers. Just depends on the situation and what it calls for exactly. In general I always speak leftist unity in general spaces, if anything, to seem cool and level-headed and break up some “authoritarian” stereotypes to people who are on the fence, you know, meet them halfway and slowly try and see if they can be brought over.

You say it is from your time in an organization–I for one even thought about “should I ‘infiltrate’ the DSA and try and spread a little MLism in the ranks?,” in which case I would have to be very prepared to smile through the pain so to speak. However, if I was ever educated, experienced, and simply lucky enough (geographically) to land myself a spot in an ML organization, for example maybe something that was trying to take itself seriously as a vanguard party or with other serious long-term plans, I know I would be very very distrusting if there were anarchists involved, I might even question if they were narcs at this point to be honest. But I would also never 100% write somebody off just because of a label. I feel like half of people barely even know what they’re talking about when they self-identify as X Y or Z.
