To mix NRT and TLOG/PULL replicas is not recommended. It is all NRT nodes or TLOG nodes mixed (or not) with PULL replicas. As you know, all PULL replicas is not possible.
According to the talk below, one of the reasons is that if you have NRT mixed with TLOG and PULL replicas then a leadership change could make all tlog/pull replicas to download the entire index segments from the new leader: https://youtu.be/XIb8X3MwVKc at minute 23:50 Also see this Activate 2018 talk https://youtu.be/dkWy2ykzAv0 at minute 14:45.
