The answer to your main question is Yes, it literally happens ALL the time, but it gets overlooked by using a narrow, under-informed notion of compatibility. (Astrologers not using declinations are part of this crowd, which includes over 90% of them.

My wife has Moon in Leo, Sun in Gemini. I have Moon in Capricorn, Sun in Taurus. That's not supposed to be "compatible".

And yes, Ascendants do play into this, BUT they must be precisely accurate in both charts to know. (That's uncommon in unverified charts cast by the birth time of record.) My wife's Asc is nearly 19° Scorpio and mine is at 17° Virgo, but that sextile is just one aspect. The entire collection of aspects needs to be taken into account to get the overall tone and compatibility picture. She and I have a majority of positive, supportive aspects. My Jupiter is closely contra-parallel her Moon -- a supportive aspect (as all Moon-Jupiter contacts are; don't believe the portrayals in books of some of the hard aspects). Many people seem to have compatible elements or signs, yet their synastry does not have a majority of positive aspects for a domesticated union.

I’ve read it so many places about the importance of having at least one compatible elements between luminaries but I also felt it’s a bit lacking. At the same time it’s the important luminaries we are talking about after all.
You and your wife seems to have compatible parts of your synastry.
But yes, I will ease up thinking Sun Moon stuff is the end all and go with the broader view
