Out here in the Land of Tall Corn, the definition of hybrid even includes the offspring of two inbred lines. Subspecies crosses certainly are included in that definition of hybrid. FWIW, I don't see any need for hybrids, whether they are from crossing two genera, two species, or two subspecies. There may be an advantage from crossing inbred lines.
