Correct, excluding your unlicensed users from MDI will help avoid potential service disruption to your organization as Some tenant services are not currently capable of limiting benefits to specific users. I recommend you to exclude the unlicensed users from the detection rules to make sure that this will not affect you in the future, open a case with the licensing team to make sure that you're covering the scenario as it should be.
Hi Martin,
I just got an update from Microsoft support.
The information I got is that the only way to properly limit the service benefits, is to move the users that should have MDI to a separate tennant.
I asked multiple times if this is the only way, which they said it was.
It would be highly appreciated if this information is stated in the documentation, as this makes it fairly complicated to be compliant in this scenario. If not impossible in real life scenarios.
Cheers.

MicrosoftI agree, it is not really a valid solution in real life. I'll discuss this with the support teams.
Thank you for the feedback.
