I agree that it can work out fine, with supervision and with the right personalities in the dogs. We've always had a mix a large and small dogs and no problems. Previously, I had a 115 lb Shep/Rottie mix, a 40 lb BC, and a 12 lb Schipperke who got along great.

Currently, I have an 82 lb Aussie mix, a 12 lb shih tzu, and my 5.5 lb Yorkie, Belle. My big dog, Ziggy, is well socialized with both people and dogs. He knows how to adjust his play style to the little dogs - it's completely different than how he plays with big dogs. He actually just lays down and lets Belle "wrestle" with his face. He and Ollie play a little rougher, but he still really restrains himself.
