There is no technical limitation. Both qnetd and booth are very 
lightweight and work just fine with high latency links.

But I don't really have any real-life experiences with deployment where 
both booth and qnetd are used. It should work, but I would recommend 
proper testing - especially what happens when arbitrator node disappears.

Keep in mind that neither qdevice nor booth is "replacement" for stonith.
