A lot of this will come down the quirks of an individual bird. the great unknown.
I dunno. I have a military macaw that was surrendered to a refuge because she became aggressive when she reached sexual maturity and the owners were worried she'd hurt the grand kids. She can be scary. With the Amazons I have (YNA, BFA and DYA), and the ones I've known, it's a toss up on what to expect. The two YNA we've had (one died 2 years ago) were both incredibly gregarious. Bug likes both of us, Fern liked me a lot more, but we never had to worry about a dive bombing green chicken. The DYA we have waivers between tolerating my existence and attacking me (like I can't be in the room if her cage door is open) depending on how much attention my partner gives her. The BFA is my bird and will attack my partner.
Owning a hyperaggressive one person bird is incredibly challenging and I wouldn't recommend it with children in the house. And I guess the question becomes what will you do if you wind up with one who is. I would either wait on getting a bigger bird, or find a rescue that has an older bird that might be a good fit.
And I wouldn't mix big birds with little birds. Birds mutilate and kill each each all the time.
