Here is my advice. I'll tell you what I have done, and you take what you want from it. I don't just go to ___ dojo anymore. Instead, I just learn from different styles and take what works for me. For example, you stated that "...in karate I am always told to impact my roundhouse with the top of my foot, while in kickboxing I kick with the shin, and I know from kicking the heavy bag that using the top of the foot hurts my ankle joint" So don't use your foot anymore. Focus more on your shin. If you think that doing it with your shin is more effective, than focus on that. My main point is, you should be able to take what you find most useful from each style and incorporate it into your own. That way, you don't lose anything.
