"mixed" as in having an "intranet only" VM and a "public facing" VM in
the same dom0 box? Yes.

Anyway, like Bart mentioned, "seclusion is created by software. In
theory it is the same thing as physical seclusion, until the software
fails or is compromised." IMHO the risk is no bigger than (say) having
a L2 switch separate public and private network with vlans. There are
some risk involved, and you have to decide whether you can accept it
or not.
