Say you only need to replace one pushrod. All the other pushrods are steel. Is it ok to replace the one with a chromemoly?

Its ok, but you need to have guideplates with chromeoly pushrods.

I'll just state that pushrods do not fail on their own. Its pretty rare to find only one that is bent in an engine.
The bent pushrod is an indicator of some other valvetrain failure.

Yeah the valve spring is broken too.
