> Hilariously, the standing advice has usually been for Exchange Online customers to still install and operate a local Exchange server too Only if you have a large tenant (> 2000 mailboxes) at the time of transition, and even then there’s ways around it. I think if you were getting advice today, it would be to avoid hybrid as much as possible and find any other way to move over because of this stupid requirement.

As of the last time I checked (6 mos. ago) there is still no supported managemenrt solution for Exchange Online without local Exchange if you migrated to Exchange Online via a hybrid migration. Some people just modify AD attributes directly to get around having an on-prem Exchange install but that's not officially supported.

You could have 15 people in an org and it's entirely unsupported to drop the Exchange server if you wish to have AD synced users regrettably. MS are very clear that "ways around it" go against their recommendations, even if I don't like it myself.
