I never had to do the writeback with AD DS But as per the Azure Files team the group where the hosts are added must come from on prem hence if the group is created in Azure AD and there is no write back it makes sense why stuff is broken. I will need to follow up with them once they are back too see if we Azure AD DS supports computer object access.
