If you have the newer remote and want the IR blaster support you will
need to change the instances of lirc_mceusb to lirc_mceusb2 in your
modprobe.conf file. Per the link you provided it seems the module to
load choice is an either-or - if you have the newer remote, you want
the mceusb2 module loaded. I doubt the mceusb module needs to be
loaded.

It is quite safe to have multiple remotes defined in /etc/lircd.conf
as long as each remote config has a different name.
