A good Diamond Bar roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is.

Mixing materials across a Diamond Bar roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Realistically, coatings suit Diamond Bar buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Silicone coatings hold up well on Diamond Bar roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
