So I've been paying more attention lately, and I noticed that yes, Hebert & Flasch do swap positions occasionally, usually for some critical shot where I guess they thought it was advantageous for one reason or another.
The other component to front end positions is of course the third. I noticed, for example, that Marc Kennedy stays on the same side, so Ryan Harnden has to switch side to accommodate him.

Other thirds will switch sides so the front-end doesn't have to, e.g. Mark Nichols. That said, the most famous and dramatic front-end switch is probably Gushue's Brier-winning rock in 2017. Gallant took Walker's spot, and Nichols jumped in to relieve Walker, who was injured.
