I have a 100 gallon tank with 5 Angels, 6 Clown loaches, a single yo-yo loach and a single serpae tetra (only one of the batch I bought lived past the first few months)

I also have a 75 gallon tank with German Rams, zebra loaches, black & large neon tetras and a single angel.

The two problems I encountered:
I started with two yo-yo loaches and one (that later jumped from the tank and died) liked to put his feelers on the angels. This seemed to annoy them but they would just swim away.

I started with 7 angels in the 100 gallon and two formed such a pair bond that they would terrorized all the other fish. They are now in their own tank raising fry.

I don't see a problem with your stocking list as long as you realize that there are differences between fish of the same type and some just don't get along as well as others. Also, when breeding--fish become territorial.
