- Hi,
Since all your mailboxes are already in the cloud (Office 365), you don't need your on-premises Exchange servers anymore.
If you're using Azure AD Sync (which synchronizes your on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory), you might need to keep one Exchange server on-premises. This is because Azure AD Sync uses the on-premises Exchange server to manage some things.
Make sure all your emails are flowing through Office 365 and not through your on-premises Exchange servers. You can get rid of most of your on-premises Exchange servers, but... If you need to keep Azure AD Sync, you should keep one Exchange server on-premises. This will help with management and resource conservation.
Thanks

Just for others that could be looking to the same scenario,
We can demote the last Exchange Server, keeping a vm only with EMT to manage the users using powershell.
