Does anyone out there in BOINC land have any experience using Charity Engine concurrently with BOINC? I'm not interested in their prizes but they seem to be connected to some interesting projects.

For example:

Charity Engine dev here.

You can attach to Charity Engine as an account manager using standard BOINC client - just sign up on the website (do not download the client) and use those credentials in the "Attach to account manager" screen. We will keep the projects you are attached to, and will attach you to Charity Engine and some other BOINC projects that are in our focus at the time. You are free to NOT run any of these by setting "no new work" from any of these, just keep in mind that the project list may change over time and you may get attached to new ones. Additionally, work from Charity Engine project itself will often take priority and run first, before other BOINC projects (Charity Engine project will not always have work to run on a particular device).

Also note that the additional projects that you may get attached to will not retain your primary account credentials and thus will not accrue credit to your main account, but instead credit will get accrued to the Charity Engine account. These credits will also get you prize draw points (I know you said you are not interested, but you can donate that money to charity if you win :) ).
