I think we'd have to see it to make a judgement, but what exactly do you mean by hybrid squat/deadlift? Do you mean you are leaning far forward and dropping your elbows? If that's the case, then I'd say no, it doesn't sound ok.
Most people seem to be able to drop down further with a front squat (as opposed to a back squat). Are you able to keep your weight back on your heels? Are your elbows up throughout?
