Quick #gameart tip- you can mirror and share (overlap) UVs for parts of baked textures.
However, to stop baking issues, make a copy of your model and take any mirrored or shared uv islands, scale them down and move them to a bit of unused space. That way, the...

Bake renders those parts to a junk spot, rather than writing over the bit you want baked.
Then you just reload the model with the uvs in the right place and paint away.

Otherwise you are just rendering a bunch of triangles over each other with different data in each.
Deleting the mirrored bits will cause huge issues as it will usually average the normals at the open seam.
If you delete half of a model, paint on it, then reload the mesh with both sides- substance stores paint strokes in 3d space relative to the bounding box... it fucks it up.
