If you'd allow unlimited access to such a portal, then yes, it could
seriously disrupt either or both of the ED or SR worlds in your campaign.
OTOH, there's always the possibility of making it unreliable or dangerous
in some way. A few ways I can think of right now are to make it a one-shot
affair (you can go through but you can't go back), make people going
through it grow weaker all the time (let them take/resist damage every
day, representing some kind of cosmic law about being away from their
"native time"), have the portal change its destination every once in a
while (so nobody going through knows where they will end up), saying that
timelines are impossible to alter (because the future is set: whatever the
players do, it won't change the world as they know it).
