I have a hip roof that I'd like to do half shingle and half metal. I have 4 skylights on the back, southern side of house and would like to re-shingle that side and then do metal ridge cap and roofing on the north, west and east sides. Is this reasonable?

Sure! The transition between materials will require some specially made flashings. I would suggest engaging your metal roof manufacturer to see if they can make those flashings or help the local contractor determine how to make them.
