Is it necessary to have any yellow industrial at all? Or can I swap them out with the cyan building that do not pollute? Will not having yellow have a negative affect on my city?

yea, you can get pretty big without the dirty industries. You probably want to have a good highway connection or a cargo terminal close to your main commercial zone though. Obviously need a really high level of education to do that as well.
If you get education, your industry will start to die, because of the lack of workers.

This theory has be de-bunked by many
Flying Ross produced an excellent video proving this theory to be false
I looked for it on here but could not find it. Must have been deleted during the forum transfer.
Maybe he will post it again

Cyan industry (offices) require more educated workers and don't produce any kind of pollution. The downside to replacing most of your industry with it is that you would have to import nearly everything. But Yellow Industry (factories) don't require any educated workers. Normal generic industry manufacture goods that are ready to be sold to commercial (or exported). Any type of industry specialisation (ore, farming, oil) produces raw resources. The raw resources get sent to the generic industrial buildings (or exported if there aren't any buildings to send it to). So, generic industry produces sellable goods from raw products, while specialised industry produce raw resources.

While most of your reply is true, the highlighted parts about generic industry is not.
You just need to level up your generic industrial sections to level 3, and they'll require large amounts of highly educated cims, supply even more jobs, and generate less pollution.
Here's a video on the matter (By Flying Ross (someone mentioned it above)):

well i think he might have meant that in terms of more educated. Offices require mostly university graduates, and even level 3 industries do not require any university graduates, only large amount of high school graduates iirc.

Sorry, you're wrong.
Level 3 industrial buildings (4x4) require 24 workers, out of which 12 need to be university graduates, 7 highschool, 4 elementary and 1 uneducated.
if you read it I said if I remember correctly, but I guess you didn't. Anyways I was only interpreting what he was saying... No need for the strong emphasis.
Ah, well there you go. Basically, high tech industry are like offices except, they produce pollution.
Offices are just filler garbage that is at it's very best, a sad version of high tech industry. Normal industry is very easy to manage as long as you keep a eye on imports and exports. Spamming any kind of industry is asking for freight hell. Sadly, freight will naturally go up with more generic and specialized, even if you keep imports and exports as low as possible. Even building cargo harbors and trains deports won't prevent it from getting out of control if you don't do careful expansion of industry.
The fact that offices don't produce freight (Or have a generic industry make it for them) is absurd. Don't categorize offices with industry if they're not going to behave like industry.

Specialized can be considered no level or maximum level when it's made. It's jobs can range from 16 (timber, farms) 24 (ore) and 32 (oil).
So what?
So what?
In my city i am reaching 60k population and have quite a few office buildings. Level three office buildings work very well with level 5 residences because they employ a LOT of people. However , they are difficult get to that level. My recommendation is build a robust city center with good transportation system and keep your commercial away from office (loud noise makes it difficult to max your level)
I think the reason that offices and industry are classed as one in because you create them, mostly, for jobs. Industry does produce freight, but the main reason you zone it is to make jobs for people.
Though, I think they should still be separate categories because when your industrial demand is up, it's hard to tell if you need offices or industry.

best way to check what you need is look at imports, if commercial are importing goods then thats when you should zone industrial is not zone offices, at least thats how i decide
