Yes, and I personally prefer Taoism over Confucianism.
But even if both are rivals, they share the same roots and are seek the same goal (the wisdom) and have the same chinese legacy, so they almost complete each other.

I'm gonna try to explain a little bit the stuff for the people who don't know it:
Taoism search the harmony with the universe, the nature and everything that surround us, and harmonize what seem opposed.

The way of thinking is kinda anarchic and advocates the individual liberties and refuse the rigors of the social life in general and all the rules around it, that's why you have so many taoists who isolate themselves to become hermits.
And that's where they're very opposed to confucianists who search to improve the social life, while taoists will say it's impossible and dangerous because it's something artificial that hinders the natural to express.

But we won't see confucianism in tōhō because, as far as I know and if I'm not mistaken, there is no folklore, magic and legends for the confucianism, it's more philosophy than a religion (well, we could say the same for taoism, but it's different).
Well, if we see confucianist characthers, they'll also have to be pure humans, so that would be unexpected. Could be interesting though, especially for the possible interactions with other characthers (and still more interesting than americanized characters to my humble opinion, it's only my opinion and I'm the only one bound by it, no aggression pls).
