Very hard to locate at that particular time and then FedEx fumbled my order so I hat to wait until after the weekend, ended up going to a local shop, WD Garage
FedEx fumbling your oder is totally believable. I've had so many packages lost or never delivered from them. UPS on the other hand? Flawless

I have the same issue as OP, would it make sense to change both rears to PS4S and keep the fronts as PSS?

I have wheel + tire protection from toyota and someone else had the same issue and they only replaced the one tire and made him buy the other 3 PS4S tires.....

Changing both rear tires out to keep them even with one another is the best practice as long as they’re both the same size, pattern, etc. You might experience some slight differences in performance from the OE tires, depending on the new tires’ compound and tread pattern, so just keep that in mind. As long as your front tires still have good amounts of tread left, you shouldn’t have any major issues having different patterns on the front and rear. You’d only notice any real difference if the new tires in the rear were way different than the OE tires (example: going from an ultra high performance summer tire into a harder compound all-season tire.)

Another thing worth mentioning is if you are unfortunate enough to have an unrepairable road hazard in your tire and you have to pay out-of-pocket, you can always reach out directly to the tire manufacturer and see if they can offer any goodwill credit to help you get into a new tire or two.
