Baking soda is an abrasive. So over a long period it would probably damage your dishwasher door seals etc. Which might be why the manufacturer no longer makes it. So try the new one.

And never mix cleaning chemicals, including in the old & new skool products mentioned here. For instance, mixing certain very common household chemicals produces the very toxic gas chlorine. In your case even if the mix was benign, it could be self defeating - e.g. if the new skool product is acidic (many cleaning chemicals are either acidic or alkaline, by design), mixing it with the alkaline baking soda product would create some fizzing and a new chemical compound useless for purpose.
