I’m going to be running some pipe for both baseboards and 1 panel radiator in a small (800sf) condo. The setup I’m thinking about is running the water first to a 10′ baseboard, then another 10′, followed by a 5′, and then a panel rad at the end. I would like to set each subsystem up with a monoflo tee and TRV. I was going to use 3/4″ pipe for the main loop with 1/2′ pipe for each branch. Does anybody see any problems with this? Thanks!

You'd need to be sure to size your downstream emitters for lower temperatures, as it will drop as previous emitters open up.
You can probably do this as you envision, but especially if you are using TRVs (good for you!) there is little harm in upsizing and lots of good.. plus it covers your butt!
