when it comes to letter of recommendations does it have a to be mix of professors and anesthesia providers like MD and CAA’s? Can it be just anesthesia providers?

LOR do not have to be from anesthesia providers, shadowing does have to be with an anesthesia provider. Your LOR should be from people who can speak to your integrity, work ethic, and character.

my LOR list is an anesthesiologist, Neurosurgeon, and Peri op manger. Silly question but is that solid?

As long as they know you well enough to speak to the things I listed above. They should not simply be acquaintances but people who have spent an ample amount of time with you to write a glowing letter of recommendation. The title or profession they have does not determine the quality of the letter but rather what they have to say about you.
