I tend to say that you need to take the best out of the known processes, whatever you wanna call them.
And, yes, we all should at least consider hybrid approaches.
For me it is like if I want to drive from place A to place B, there could be tons of reasons why today you need the shortest, tomorrow the fastest and the day after the safest road, having multiple options and the capability to predict which one to use, is for sure better / best. Saving Changes...
The only thing to survive as project manager is: understanding that this type of things does not exists. An example. In my actual work place we have five different ways to do projects. Some based on agile approach, some based on non-agile approach, etc. The same person is assigned to more than one project using different approaches on the same time. How it does possible? Understanding that project management is one and only one but performing on different environements.
I will survive! Saving Changes...

It is a simple reality particularly in large organisations with complex and legacy technical environments. Most projects will need components delivered by different technical teams, some who will work in a very agile way and others will work in a more waterfall way. The project manager has to marry these different ways of working together to achieve an optimal outcome. Saving Changes...

Some projects needs multiple frameworks in order to be completed, or are better served by using a hybrid.
It is the world we live in that we need to use what ever it taes to get it done. Saving Changes...

My experience :
Agile: People are crazy about agile whether it is suitable for given business/project or not they want to adopt it
Waterfall: People are adamant to move to iterative despite there is a need/suitability for given business/project
Hybrid: People adopt things from everywhere and create a mess and proud about the mess that they have created…
This might sound like negative but this is the reality…. Saving Changes...

I'm think that the project must be executed according to the circunstances of the organization. This is, agil if the project required, mixed, or hybrid or waterfall. Saving Changes...
I'm assuming you are referring to a mix of deterministic and adaptive approaches/practices on a given project?
If so, this is a very normal situation when organizations are undergoing an agile transformation and even afterwards if they have a diverse enough portfolio.
If I have a project where some scope is best delivered in a deterministic manner and the remainder better lends itself to an adaptive approach then I should use a hybrid approach.

What I have come accross in R&D project. No matter how short the phase may be and how clear the things may seem to be, deterministic gets transformed into adaptive. Saving Changes...
