Optimal thing to do would be to just buy 64Gb of the matching memory and sell your existing 32GB kit. Less worry about compatibility that way.
Here's a good review of the Kingston Renegade memory:

It's no longer in production I believe.

Personally, I would sell the Crucial kit (you should be able to sell them for around $100-120 on craigslist/offerUp/FB marketplace) so you can get the extra speed (the sweetspot for Ryzen 3000/5000 CPUs is DDR4-3600). Plus the two kits would look really ugly together in the build; would drive me nuts. 😆

For RGB sticks in this performance line, this is not a bad price at all. SK Hynix DJR. Not quite Samsung B-Die fame but good alternative at a cheaper price. You can google for people's experiences with specific boards and CPUs for this die.
On overclocking, a lot of people go chasing clock frequency with loose timings and high voltages and think they have a faster memory. Not always. Doing Passmark or other benchmarking will show them doing worse than their rated XMP profiles in throughput. Very few people do the benchmark tests.
A stick isn't fit for overclocking unless you can increase frequency and tighten timings and have it stable at or less than 1.45V. Most clock jocks don't get this.

If you are not manually overclocking then the G.Skills come off the shelf at a higher clock assuming your MB is capable of taking the XMP profile at the higher rated speed.
With Intel CPUs, you likely won't notice any difference in performance. Buy whatever is cheapest at the time.

When you do set XMP, just make sure the speed is set to the slowest module and highest latency to ensure that it won't crap (3200mhz in this case).
The only time you'll run into stability issues is if you're:
1) overclocking / manually setting timings (which 95+% of users are not going to do)
2) mixing single rank and dual rank modules (and even this is not usually a problem for most modern memory controllers to handle)
3) running at the top end of the module's stock speed/voltage/timings already
If you running a locked Intel or 1000/2000 series AMD Ryzen, you'll be limited in speed anyway, so mixing a DDR4-3200 kit with a DDR4-3600 kit wouldn't really be an issue since you'll be usually be running at the max supported speed of the CPU. In the case presented by Eragorn, he's got a 3700X (which I still have on my test bench) and I've never had any issues mixing memory modules and then running benchmarks. Again, it's not optimal, but it will work the vast majority of the time.
