Hi Andreas,
You can edit the existing M365 organization, change its type to Hybrid and add the on-premises Exchange part. Licenses will be counted for the entire hybrid organization without any breakdown into cloud/on-prem users.
Technically, there are no downsides for this solution, but personally I would back up an entire on-prem host with VBR. This way you will have an option to restore the entire server when needed vs mailbox-level restores to an existing environment.
Thanks!
