Default Opposite Directon VFR/IFR question

At my tower we run consistent opposite direction traffic arr/dep arr/arr to the same runway. It is not unusual to have N123 3 mile final cleared to land on rwy36 and military aircraft 3 mile final rwy18 cleared option. Now standard procedure is giving traffic of course then sending one of them around. Now i have been told multiple times "no separation requirement for vfr/vfr" "don't scrape paint, etc."
I can dig that but what about when it's IFR/VFR same scenario?
Any input on the opposite direction stuff is appreciated. Haven't found anything in the .65 ever reguarding that situation for a VFR tower.
