I have not had any. What kind of problems are you thinking or anticipating.

It's perfectly fine unless one of them hasn't gotten their cootie shots yet.

I don't see a problem with it, although I never mix any meat together until I'm processing it for hamburger or such. It's just something I don't do, that's all.

I've done it without any complaints but I'm pretty anal about making sure the meat is as clean as possible before it goes into the ice chest

Just make sure you cook the venison above 150 degrees if you do it in case there is contamination from Trichinosis from the pork.

Personally I'd keep venison backstrap & tenderloins separate (since we grill those medium-rare).
Rest is going to be grinded together raw anyway (pork & venison // sausage) and/or cooked well ....

I do it all the time. Just make sure the meat is clean and wash off any 'poo' or body juices

This was pointed out in one of the posts. The question comes down more to how you cook the meat vs mixing it in a cooler. It is fine to mix it in a cooler, if you are going to cook it to a temp of 150+ F. If not, such as rare steaks on the grill, this is not a good idea. There are many articles online that explain why in great detail, but the short answer is heat of 150 kills anything harmful in the meat. Some articles say 135f is hot enough, some say 160f is needed, but they all say not to eat under cooked pork (also bear and raccoon).

There's only about 10 Trichinosis cases a year in the united states, so it's a pretty slim chance you'd get anything from eating slightly raw pork. I do it all the time because i can't stand dried out overdone meat. Not saying it's the smartest idea, but it sure tastes good. I'll take my chances
