Since we have Photonic people (holograms like the EMH I), what would happen if a Photonic person and a "real" fleshy person have a child? And what would happen if the hologrid or mobile emitter failed on said child?

closest we've seen was when in Voy they used holographic technology to make a set of replacement lungs for Neelix when a Vidiian stole his lungs.
making hybrids? It'd require holographic programming detailed to the sub-atomic level in order to work.... It'd be like making holographic food that you can actually eat. And with that in mind.... this level of detail could be used once with a replicator to get the same result.

Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
A hologram can have a child with another hologram since the process would involve copying their code and merging it with their partner's copied code. This process could work with holograms, androids, and computers provided the code is compatible.
In order for it to work with a hologram and a human, then the hologram would require creating a DNA sample that matches the hologram if they were turned into a human. The human would have to create a code that would match what they would be as a computer program similar to when Geordi created the Dr. Brahms hologram or Janeway with the da Vinci hologram. Of course, this is all about surrogate genetics and surrogate code instead of the actual genetics and code.
The only reasonable way to create a Human/Hologram Hybrid is a human that uses holographic body parts to survive. A Human/AI Hybrid is possible as shown by Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Hybrids are just a combination of two or more things. Cyborgs are always a combination of organic and inorganic not organic and energy. There might be a few exceptions, but I can't recall any. A Cyborg could be classified as an Human/Inorganic Hybrid.
My character Tsin'xing
It wouldn't because they can't. Photonic beings don't have DNA, or chromosomes, or reproductive genetic material of any sort. Holograms in the way they are used in Star Trek are the weakest issue to justify. Technically a Hologram is a projection of a program run on a computer. The projection is not the program itself. It doesn't help the matter that Voyager constantly contradicted itself in the way holograms are presented.
