With respect, the discussion about the levels is irrelevant - one of the aircraft is VFR, and traffic information has been, presumably, passed to each. Therefore, if you get adjacent to each other, it will be in VMC (as applicable to at least one of you!) That's the name of the game. The unfortunate bottom line is - if you don't like it (and that is quite understandable) - don't fly there, or better still start lobbying to get CAS, radar service to VFRs, better procedures etc etc..
