I have seen hybrids between Triturus cristatus and T. marmoratus in the wild's of Brittany. I also keep another naturally occurring intergrade of Salamandra, between S.s.gallaica/S.s.fastuosa.
Here's the link:

I personally think that we tread dangerous water when producing 'mules', which could ruin the Species integrity all too easily. Look at the various, as yet undescribed forms of Tylototriton verrucosus for instance.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
