Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Office Professional 2021

Hello community,

due to cost reduction I want to restructure the Microsoft365 environment of my company (small company with only 5 employees) a bit and hope to find someone here who had and implemented a similar (or even the same) project as I am planning.

I would like to switch from Microsoft 365 Business Premium to Microsoft 365 Business Basic due to the costs, there are only the apps available on the web, I now have the question of whether I can, for example, with a local installation of Office Professional 2021 on the clients, combine the apps with Microsoft 365 Business Basic (here it is primarily about Outlook) so that I come close to the range of functions of Microsoft 365 Business Standard. What restrictions would there be when combining Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Office Professional 2021?

I thank you for your support, tips and also suggestions so that I can implement my project cost-effectively, I am grateful for any experience!
