The way I see it, creatures with the Titan-forged template can interbreed for sure. If Titans had a hand in your origin and you are born in their image, good chance you can interbreed. So elves, orcs, draenei, humans. All valid.
Now the "Animal" races would be a separate thing. It's known that these are "children" of the nature spirits we know as Loa, Ancients, etc, as far as we can tell.
We've got no great examples, and my instincts would say no. But, we also have the offspring of Malorne cross-breeding with a rock elemental to create Centaur, and potentially with Mammoths to make Magnataurs. So close ties to Nature origins seems to have some big potential too. Though it could be argued that the Ancients and Elementals are things of mystical essence, whereas their offspring, like Pandaren, are much less so.
For now I'd give it a "no", based solely on the fact that we have no examples, and it would have been something to pop up. But that's hardly rock-solid evidence, and if we get examples in lore, I'm certainly not going to cry foul over it.
Only one way to find out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I believe in biology circles that’s called the “round peg in the round hole” principle.
*ahem*
As has been noted, if the curse of flesh-riddled progeny of titan creations can mate with the offspring of the magically mutated progeny of the naturally-arisen trolls, as is the case with Turalyon and Alleria, respectively, there’s no reason to think that pandas couldn’t reproduce with another race.
Now, a human/panda hybrid is probably something we (thankfully) won’t be seeing in WoW. But it’s... feasible.

Elves and Draenei aren’t titanforged, are they? I guess since elves are trolls whos evolution was influenced by titan blood they kinda still count? Still not titanforged but ok. Draenei’s home planet was argus however, and I don’t remember seeing any titanforged draenei anywhere
i'd say it may depend on whether or not pandaren originate from titanic interference.
we've seen that orcs can breed with draenei, humans with elves, and we've been told once that elves can breed with trolls. i do not believe it has ever been specified outside of the rpg whether orcs can breed with humans. i remember something being said about orc/human hybrids being reviled by both sides and outcast, but that sounds like rpg talk.
it's my personal theory that anything with titanic ancestry can breed with anything else shaped by the titans. though the physiology of something like a tauren is so different that i think it'd either not be possible, or the offspring would constantly be stillborn or die very shortly after birth.
in conclusion, there's just no way to know. blizzard's too cowardly to put out a racial phylogeny book, like elder scrolls has. so it's all guesswork for now.
There are literally no rules on what can breed with other things in Warcraft. You could have a half-elf, half-bee if you want.
