Is it possible to mix lights from different manufacturers? I use wireless triggers so that's not an issue, but what else should I be aware of?

the light colors could be off from each other,
I am not aware of how various manufacturers spec. their lights' colors. You might get by with using different lights, providing they're not set to the lowest settings. At the lower power settings, some lights have markedly different color. In the mid range, they should all be fairly close.Is it possible to mix lights from different manufacturers?

Dramatic color differences can be artistically interesting, but if you are talking about a very slight difference, then it just looks wrong.the light colors could be off from each other,
That could be either good or bad depending on the intent. I've seen some fantastic images where they utilized the color differences between strobe and continuous lights.
That is the biggest hurdle to get over. There are some mounting systems that seem to have taken the lead in standardization, so try to get mounts that all use the same mounting system.@Derrel you bring up a valid point on accessories. I can buy universal, or adaptor rings for my Bee's but that's an additional expense. Having to deal with multiple adaptors for other brand lights could become a nightmare.

I don't use the modeling lights past the initial aiming and while they are proportional, I can't see much unless the power is turned up anyhow.
I'm a bit surprised that you don't use the modeling lights all of the time
