Is there anything wrong with mixing contracted with uncontracted phrases in the same sentence?
Examples:
I'm not sure it is possible.
("I'm" is contracted, but "it is" is not).
I am not sure it's possible.
("I am" is not contracted, but "it's" is).
I know that it is not grammatically incorrect. But is it not recommended? Or is there any other reason to not use it?

No, there isn't. You can freely write a word contracting it, and write another one without to contract it.
As reported by Mr. Shiny and New, sometimes a word is written without to contract it to put emphasize on it.
