It doesn't matter whether you refer to a cross climate as a summer tyre, winter tyre or all-seasons - they are marketed as having grip levels on snow akin to those of a winter tyre, something that a stereotypical summer tyre does not have; thus, it is this grip level that is pertinent in the discussion, not the branding.
If you put tyres on one axle that have lots of grip and tyres on another without grip you will end up with an unpredictable car that is unsafe to drive in conditions where grip is demanded. That, in my opinion, is not a safe combination and certainly not a scenario that constitutes the OP being advised that all 'will be fine'.
