Basically you can mangle anything you like, cram in into whatever RPG, and claim that RPG does genre X well. Doesn't mean it does. D&D breaking isn't the problem, or the expected issue. The opposite is the problem, that just jamming a few rando systems into D&D doesn't make D&D able to simulate other genre or styles well at all. The basic aspects of D&D are such that you're not able to get around some of them, not without rebuilding D&D in serious ways that make it essentially a merely D&D-like system.</blockquote>
