coexistence wifi ble modules certificaten

We would like to use Wifi (2.4 GHz) and BLE in the same device.
The current design will have the BLE Module Rigado BMD-340 and the Wifi Module Microchip WINC1500.

Neither the Softdevice of the Nordic SoC nor the WINC1500 supports any Hardware Collision Prevention.
According to the Rigado and Microchip Support minimum distance to the next 2.4GHz Radio has to be at least 20cm in order not to lose the certifications for the modules.

Has anyone experience in getting such a design certified?

These guys use a nRF52 and an ESP32:

Their PCB layout is similar to what we have in mind. Size wise and positing of the two radio modules.

My gut feeling says the interference with such a design should be not too bad.
However, can you pass the FCC and CE requirements with such a design?

What are your thoughts?
