I have steel rear fenders for more stability when loading stuff on the roof rack, but do they make the Jeep look funky since they don’t match the front? Thoughts? Feelings?
Rear fenders don't match the front

Its more common the other way around factory rears and metal fronts.
It looks a bit off but going ot be hard to match that rear fender unless you know what brand it is.

The front fenders that are supposed to go with it are flat fenders- which I’d prefer to stray away from. That’s too bad

Yea I had mine the other way around, and I didn't like the look either so I changed the rears also.

Maybe look around at the 1000's of pictures with flat fronts and visualize your jeep with it.
IMO what looks more odd than your fenders are those OEM wheels with oversized tires which i believe are only 7" wide.

Fuck me that's a sexy TJ. I've always loved white. What tire carrier is that and where was the second photo taken?
I don’t think it is awful. They blend nicely into the rocker armor so isn’t anything to specifically call out the rear flares.
I think it looks better than having flat fenders up front and stock in the rear.
Doesn’t look bad, and having the metal ones to stand on is awesome, same for me.
One question, are you worried about flat front because the matching ones cut out the fender? You can get flat flares that look like they would match. These would match pretty close from what i see, and no cutting of the fender, bolt on.

Yeah just a personal preference. I had flat fenders for about a year before I decided I liked the classic fender more.
If you don’t like the flat look up front at all, then stick with what you have, doesn’t look bad to you, then who cares what anyone thinks.

The tire carrie is a Rock Hard 4x4, and the picture was taken in Moab
I think your Jeep looks sharp! I can't say I've seen that color before. For that matter, I don't recall seeing YJ wheels on a TJ either. I like it.
