I plan to plant this Plumeria and succulent arrangement in the large blue pot with cactus/succulent soil mix. This spot gets morning sunlight in Phoenix and then is shaded after high noon. The pot has drainage and I plan to water every 3 days. Will these guys be ok together or is this a bad combo?

Looks a bit crowded at the minute. Looks pretty but I worry it doesn’t leave much room for growth. Will need careful watering as hard to see how soil is doing.
Yeah, I would recommend putting it in a slightly bigger pot, but by the looks of it, it looks healthy
Watering every 3 days is WAY too much for literally any succulent.
Every succulent has different light/ water needs so a variety like that is more susceptible to rot that way.
The blue pot seems REALLY deep??
A wider mouthed pot is definitely good to space out the arrangement but I’m not sure how good a pot that deep would be.
If it were me, I wouldn’t pair the Plumeria with any of the succulents. As far as I can see, all of the succulents look like they’re either Echeveria, Sedeveria or Crassula, so they should go well together on their own.
I’d put the Plumeria in the deeper pot, and find some kind of attractive low growing plant to plant with it, but I would move the succulents to a wider, but more shallow pot. I’d make sure both pots have drainage holes, and then I would make my own soil for the succulents.
You wanna drench the succulents every few WEEKS, until dormancy in winter, when they only need watered every couple of months. Don’t water during the peak sunlight hours (10am to 4pm) and avoid putting them out in direct sunlight immediately if you bought them from a store where they were kept inside. You want to give them indirect sunlight until they’ve acclimated to that, then gradually give them more time in the direct sun, until eventually they spend most of their time in the sun. Otherwise, you can absolutely sunburn them!
Watering every 3 days for a succulent in INSANE😭😭😭
