I think it would be safer to use the filters for this. In my setup I want to use both the child theme and parent theme acf-json, but only save to the child theme acf-json folder:

add_filter('acf/settings/save_json', function() {
	return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/acf-json';
});

add_filter('acf/settings/load_json', function($paths) {
	$paths = array(get_template_directory() . '/acf-json');

	if(is_child_theme())
	{
		$paths[] = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/acf-json';
	}

	return $paths;
});

Documented here.

I hope it helps 🙂
