What do people keep with alligator gars, large cats (paroon sharks, niger cats, RTC, TSN, and hybrids), pacus, and arapaima? Does anyone successfully keep all of those species together? Anyone keep arowanas successfully with them?

Here we are talking about few hundred gallon in tank size. Together all there species will need a Hugh space.
I honestly hope this is sarcasm. The only fish on that list that is possible to be kept in a tank of less than sever thousand gallons would be the niger catfish and arowana. You could use a few hundred gallon tank for a growout, but arapaimas and alligator gars have been known to hit 10 feet, and unconfirmed at 12 plus.Here we are talking about few hundred gallon in tank size.

Generally speaking a 7k gallon aquarium is not possible for.most
. people do keep these in few hundred gallon setups. Never heard a 10 feet long fish in home aquaria hobby but in wild yes

Yes, it's not possible for most. That's why you don't see most people keeping alligator gars or arapaima. The people that keep them in few hundred gallon setups (I'll assume you mean 300 gallon range) are being idiotic, as arapaima can easily get spinal injuries from not having a proper turning radius, and alligator gars can as well.
Well if he were thinking of just a few hundred gallons I'd say only aro, pacu, Niger cat are suitable for lifetime that is the rest need atleast a thousand if not a couple lolHere we are talking about few hundred gallon in tank size. Together all there species will need a Hugh space.
