Blues Hybrid Scale??

I've just been watching some guitar vids on blues soloing, talking about mixing major and minor pentatonics, as well as throwing the blues scale in. In theory would one hybrid scale fit?

For example, blues in D

Could you solo just on D E F F# G G# A C D
R 2 m3 M3 4 b5 5 7 8

I know it's better to follow the chords and pick out the good notes, but as an idiots guide would that hybrid scale work?

Yes.

But I urge caution because the F and F sharp contradict each other so hanging on one would clash big time if someone else was hanging on the other. Not a deal breaker but a major change in texture.

With reference to the term 'does it work', the answer is always yes as every note has an effect on every other but what you have to decide is what are your intentions. If you want it to clash and to create dischord, it will sound great. If you want it to sound smooth, it won't.
