Mixing different ranks in dual channel memory

Currently I have 8 gig ddr4 stick running in single channel.
I'm looking to upgrade to dual channel by adding another 8gig stick.
My current memory is crucial 2400mhz cl17 (CT8G4DFS824A) (single rank)
The memory I'm looking to buy is crucial ballistic LT 2400 cl 16 (BLS8G4D240FSB) (dual rank)
The reason I'm buying the ballistic is bc for some reason it has got cheaper than the normal one.
So my question is would running these two in dual channel be wise?
Also I don't know why but the crucial website is showing that the ballistic is not compatible with my gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 but in gigabyte memory qvl it's listed
