@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2022):

NetBox does not claim to validate whether two types of connected interfaces will function, and the effort required to compile a set of rules dictating which interface types can interoperate would likely be disproportionate to the value it provides. Still, if you'd like to propose a specific implementation for such a feature, you're welcome to submit a feature request.
