If I put led parker/stop and led indicator globes in the rear, would I have to change the front to led as well so not to send the system silly.

I haven't done it myself, but I suspect you'd be more likely to have to install load resistors to the new LEDs to stop the canbus from throwing errors and telling you your globes are blown.
I'm sure someone here has done this and can inform you accurately.

The globes are sold "Canbus ready, no errors so possibly they have resistors installed.

Have fitted led globes to front parkers with no issues. Also fitted led globes to reversing lights, again no issues

My searching has found that the parker/stop and reversing globes are fine.
The indicators aren't fine because they flash too fast and do need resistors.
