Some tension between teams is good, it keeps everybody honest. The "all pull together" thing is a nice dream, but that's all it is, all it will ever be.
However, the conflict should be within the context of the same goal, just with different perspectives. It can obviously go to far, and it sounds like in your case it has.
But no tension, and groups with different responsibilities being comfortable with each other is typically not a good thing. It means you need much better governance and auditing for a start and will need to find some other method to keep everybody on their toes.
