Any potential concerns with about a 50/50 mix? Got some SN/d1G1 I need to use up and can't find any more (of the same brand).

Mixing SN/d1G1 with SN+/d1G2?

in what application?
2017 Pentastar.
No issues whatsoever. Those engines only require SN rated oil and not D1G1 or D1G2. You're fine.
None what two brands are you mixing?
Depends really. Apparently a lot of SN PLUS with the same version hasn't really been changed. Mobil claims that all Mobil 1 versions before SN PLUS came out were compliant and didn't need to be reformulated.
However, when I got a couple of bottle of Chevron Supreme 5W-20 I made sure they had the AP SN label on them. However - it's certainly possible for there to be a change of formulation. I've seen that on two pairs of bottles of the same brand/model of oil.

I would have no worries mixing.

I wouldn't worry about it. Whether or not they changed the formula probably doesn't make a meaningful difference. Mobil claims that all their Mobil 1 oils that were API SN labeled were compliant, but Pennzoil doesn't say anything about their products other than they would be labeled API SN PLUS by May 1, 2018.

Pretty sure that PP's formulation changed pretty substantially with d1G2, but it should be of no concern for a Pentastar.
What you want to do would probably be somewhat like mixing M1 and PP a few years ago...which is just fine for your application.
If you had a direct injected turbo engine...well, you'd probably still be fine with the mixing, but I'd recommend using the newer oil only as a safety measure.
