Switches in viewpoint styles during the story

I’m struggling whether to do third-person limited (typical epic fantasy POV changes), or first-person for a more personal connection. But then a thought occurred to me:

Why not both?

Rothfuss does it quite well in The Kingkiller Chronicle. Third-person omniscient when we’re in the present, and first-person when Kvothe dictates his story. I can’t help but feel it works only because Kvothe is dictating to an audience, and we the reader become listeners when he decides to resume the story. There’s a transition. Chapter titles labeled introduction, interlude, and epilogue to denote that we’re moving back to third-person style.

So how about it? Is it too jarring or distracting? Any other good examples of it being done well?
