In practice, mixing materials across a Toluca Lake roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Flat and low-slope sections in Toluca Lake need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. In practice, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Toluca Lake tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Toluca Lake and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage.
Insurance work in Toluca Lake turns on documentation. Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. That is as true in Toluca Lake as anywhere in Los Angeles County. In practice, a Toluca Lake adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Photographs taken before any tarping on a Toluca Lake property are the the majority of valuable evidence in the whole claim.
