Ideally, you'd only try to load libraries in other version other than provided by default in completely custom pages wihtout any Share / Aikau components in it. Otherwise you will always risk conflicts - even Alfresco managed to produce a conflict they now do not intend to fix.

It is technically possible to override the global Dojo loader initialisation, but it is the absolute wrong thing to do. If you want to extend Share, you'd do best to work within the libraries already provided to avoid a lot of problems. If you want to have something drastically different, create a custom Surf page that does NOT use any of the default page templates Alfresco provides and use your own, so you have full control over what libraries get loaded in the global context. But be aware that you will likely not be able to use any of the default Share components in that page, i.e. the standard Share menu rendered by Aikau widgets.

Simple: Do not use any of the template instances that Alfresco bundles out-of-the-box. By following that documentation page you linked, you should already be using a custom template instance you control.
