Jannick,
You could add your Windows10 PC's in AzureAD and manage them with EMS. The Intune MDM will not give you all the options of the GPO in AD however. And personal folders can be synced with OneDrive for business.
I'm not sure what policies you apply now with GPO and what you're user profile requirements are. You'll have to provide a little more information to asses whether EMS is a viable replacement for your current AD infrastructure.
However, if you ask me I would sacrifice some functionality to get rid of the hassle of maintaining the AD. Certainly for a an organization of only 14 users.
One more comment though. Activating Office for 5 different users with 1 Office 365 Business license is no correct licensing.
Hope this helps!
