I think you are right about PETSc. However, Trilinos (and perhaps the
interface to LASPACK) migth allow mixed variable types in the same code.
So, it might be useful to adapt the interface for solvers other than PETSc.

On a related note, though, my application allows me to separate the
computations of real and complex types, so I don't really need to iterate
between the two. Hence, doing file based I/O works as a solution.

I don't know if there are others out there who might need to iterate
between solutions of real and complex types, thereby requiring dual types
in the same library.

This might be a consideration for you to prioritize.
