Yes, you can use 2.5" SSD with M.2 NVMe SSD as a boot drive, performance will be same for both(2.5" SSD and 2.5"HDD) because it will be used for storage.
M.2 NVMe SSD is boot drive+ 2.5" SSD for storage
M.2 NVMe SSD is boot drive+ 2.5" HDD for storage
I don't think there will be significant difference between these combination.

Hi,
Yes, you can use M.2 NVMe SSD and 2.5" SSD but there's no point in using a 2.5" SSD for storage, 2.5" HDD will be fine for storage.

Hi, why you say that about 2.5 ssd? Wich combination works better 2.5 ssd + m.2 pcie or 2.5 HDD +m.2 pcie? Because i already have an 2.5 SSD
