Removing Exchange on-prem

Question

Hi,

We have inherited several sites where hybrid Exchange migrations were executed. Mailboxes have moved to M365 etc, but there is still an on-prem Exchange 2016 Server and  ADSync is still in use. We want to get rid of these Exchange Servers as this post hybrid migration setup is a mess (and problematic) to manage. Would much rather be fully M365.

But even according to Microsoft, this is not really possible? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/decommission-on-premises-exchange

Anyone got guidance on how to safely decommission on prem exchange (and ADSync ultimately)?

Thanks
