Can the Google HTTP(S) Global Load Balancer failover to different types of backends?

The HTTP(S) Global LB has "Automatic failover to healthy backends".

But can it failover to different backend types?

For example, the LB might direct all traffic to a GCE Instance Group. (There would be no distinct path routing rules.)

But if the Instance Group backend fails its healthcheck, the LB would send traffic to a Serverless Network Endpoint Group to direct all traffic to a Cloud Function.

Can that be done?

There is a limitation in serverless NEGs, since you cannot mix serverless NEGs with other types of NEGs (zonal or internet NEGs) in the same backend service. As you mentioned in the original post, I presume Joshua wants a failover. I wonder if there are uses people want for mixing NEG types -- such as migrating to (or from) GCE Instance Group to Cloud Functions.
